The Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO) is participating in the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT 2025), currently underway in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, from 8 to 11 September.

MIFCO has set up a dedicated stall at the fair, organised by China’s Ministry of Commerce, to introduce Maldivian marine fish products to international markets. According to Aishath Riyaza, MIFCO’s General Manager of Local Sales and Marketing, the stall is displaying a range of fish products, offering visitors the chance to sample and learn about Maldivian fisheries.

She explained that the main objective of participating in CIFIT is to expand the reach of Maldivian fish products into the Chinese market and raise awareness of MIFCO’s business internationally. She added that opening new opportunities in China could play a key role in diversifying export destinations for the Maldives’ fisheries sector.

The Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources noted that MIFCO is taking part in the fair in collaboration with the Maldives Fisheries & Ocean Resources Marketing & Promotion Company. This year’s event brings together delegations from more than 110 countries and regions, with 51 showcasing their products through exhibition booths.

MIFCO has also recently participated in the Food and Hospitality Asia Maldives (FHAM) fair, held at Hulhumalé Central Park, where its products attracted strong local interest.
