The Maldivian state-owned company processed 568 metric tonnes across 517 vessels, consolidating the minimum purchase price to protect the income of local fishermen.

The state-owned Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO) presented its official weighing report for June 2026, detailing that a total of 517 fishing vessels landed 568 tonnes of tuna. The total value of these acquisitions amounted to 11.3 million MVR (approximately US$ 732,814.53), reflecting activity at the nation's key collection centers, such as the Kooddoo Fisheries Complex in Gaaf Alif Atoll and the Addu Fisheries Complex in Seenu Hulhumeedhoo.

The statistical breakdown of the tuna received by MIFCO during the month of June was distributed as follows:

  • 9.3 million MVR (US$ 603,112.84) corresponded to 484.4 tonnes of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis).

  • 331,440 MVR (US$ 21,494.16) corresponded to 16.6 tonnes of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares).

  • 1.7 million MVR (US$ 110,246.43) corresponded to 67 tonnes of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) with an individual weight exceeding 15 kilograms.

With the objective of mitigating the impact of the seasonal low in catches and improving the profitability of the sector, MIFCO increased the minimum purchase price to 20 MVR (US$ 1.30) per kilogram during June. The President of the Republic, Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, ratified that the government's policy is to maintain this price floor and avoid any reduction below said rate.

President Muizzu (pictured left) pointed out that the most relevant measure adopted by the administration to guarantee a fair price structure has been to float the base value in parallel with international market rates, a strategy that has yielded favorable results. He explained that, at the time the price flotation was implemented, a kilogram was trading at 16 MVR (US$ 1.04), managing to rise to the current 20 MVR, although he stressed that sustained effort will be required to consolidate this valuation in the continuous market.

These monthly figures show an adjustment compared to previous periods; for instance, in May, collection reached 1,791 tonnes across 693 vessels, a decrease compared to the 4,414 tonnes in April, due to the onset of the southwest monsoon and fewer fishing trips during the Eid festivities.

Despite fluctuations in global volumes, MIFCO maintains monthly disbursements exceeding US$ 2 million in direct payments to local fishing communities. Currently, the company's operations department is executing a modernization plan focused on reducing processing times to settle payments to fishermen within a maximum period of 48 hours after weighing, alongside advancing the construction of a new complex in Ihavandhoo and the relocation of its yellowfin tuna processing plant.

Mifcoは6月に1,130万mvr相当の鰹・鮪類買付を記録 モルディブ国営企業は517隻から568メトリックトンを処理し、地元漁師の収入を保護するため最低買付価格を確固たるものにした。

国営のモルディブ工業水産会社MIFCO)は、2026年6月の公式計量報告書を発表し、計517隻の漁船568トンの鰹・鮪類を水揚げしたことを詳細に報告した。これらの買い付け総額は1,130万MVR(約米ドル 732,814.53)に達し、ガーフ・アリフ環礁クードゥ水産コンプレックスシーヌ・フルミードゥアッドゥ水産コンプレックスなど、同国の主要な集荷拠点における活動を反映している。

6月中にMIFCOが受け入れた鰹・鮪類の統計的内訳は以下の通りである:

  • 930万MVR米ドル 603,112.84)は、484.4トンのカツオ(Katsuwonus pelamis)に相当。

  • 331,440 MVR米ドル 21,494.16)は、16.6トンのキハダマグロ(Thunnus albacares)に相当。

  • 170万MVR米ドル 110,246.43)は、個体重量が15キログラムを超える67トンのカツオ(Katsuwonus pelamis)に相当。

漁獲量の季節的な減少による影響を緩和し、同セクターの収益性を向上させる目的で、MIFCO6月中に1キログラムあたりの最低買付価格を20 MVR米ドル 1.30)に引き上げた。同共和国の大統領であるモハメド・ムイズ博士は、政府の方針はこの最低価格を維持し、当該レートを下回るいかなる引き下げも回避することであると批准した。

ムイズ大統領は、公正な価格構造を保証するために政府が採用した最も重要な施策は、国際市場の相場と並行してベース価値を変動させることであり、この戦略は好ましい結果をもたらしていると指摘した。価格変動制が導入された当時、1キログラムあたり16 MVR米ドル 1.04)で取引されていたものが、現在の20 MVRまで上昇したと説明したが、連続市場でこの評価を定着させるためには持続的な取り組みが必要であると強調した。

これらの月次データは、過去の期間と比較して調整が行われたことを示している。例えば、5月の集荷量は693隻を通じて1,791トンに達したが、これは南西モンスーンの始まりやイードの祝祭期間中の出漁回数の減少により、4月4,414トンと比較して減少となっている。

世界的な数量の変動にもかかわらず、MIFCOは地元の漁業コミュニティへの直接支払金として、毎月200万米ドルを超える支出を維持している。現在、同社の業務部門は、計量後最大48時間以内に漁師への支払いを決済するための処理時間短縮に焦点を当てた近代化計画を実行しているほか、イハヴァンドゥにおける新しいコンプレックスの建設と、キハダマグロ加工工場の移転を進めている。

Mifco六月份录得价值1130万mvr的金枪鱼采购额 马尔代夫国营公司通过517艘渔船处理了568公吨渔获,巩固了最低采购价格以保护当地渔民的收入。

国营的马尔代夫工业渔业公司MIFCO)提交了2026年6月的官方称重报告,详细说明了共有517艘渔船卸载了568吨金枪鱼。这些采购的总价值达到了1130万MVR(约合732,814.53美元),反映了该国主要集散中心的活动,如卡夫阿里夫环礁库杜渔业综合体西努胡鲁米杜阿杜渔业综合体

MIFCO6月份收到的金枪鱼统计明细分布如下:

  • 930万MVR603,112.84美元)对应484.4吨正鲣(Katsuwonus pelamis)。

  • 331,440 MVR21,494.16美元)对应16.6吨黄鳍金枪鱼(Thunnus albacares)。

  • 170万MVR110,246.43美元)对应67吨单尾重量超过15公斤的正鲣(Katsuwonus pelamis)。

为了减轻季节性捕捞低谷对行业的影响并提高该行业的盈利能力,MIFCO6月期间将每公斤的最低采购价格提高至20 MVR1.30美元)。共和国总统穆罕默德·穆伊祖博士批准,政府的政策是维持这一价格底线,并避免任何低于该税率的下调。

穆伊祖总统指出,政府为确保公平价格结构而采取的最相关措施是使基础价值与国际市场价格平行浮动,这一策略已经取得了良好的效果。他解释说,在实施价格浮动时,每公斤交易价格为16 MVR1.04美元),目前已成功升至20 MVR,但他强调,要将这一估值巩固在连续市场中,仍需要持续的努力。

这些月度数据与前几个时期相比有所调整;例如,在5月,通过693艘渔船采集了1,791吨,由于西南季风 King 开始以及开斋节庆祝活动期间捕鱼行程的减少,较4月采集的4,414吨有所下降。

尽管全球数量存在波动,MIFCO每月向当地渔业社区直接支付的款项仍超过200万美元。目前,该公司的运营部门正在执行一项现代化计划,重点是缩短处理时间,以便在称重后最多48小时内结清渔民的款项,同时推进在伊哈万杜新建综合体以及搬迁其黄鳍金枪鱼加工厂的进展。
