Between January and July this year, cumulative exports reached MVR 1.4 billion, reflecting a 57 percent increase compared to MVR 945 million during the same period last year.
Fish products continue to dominate the country’s exports, with frozen tuna and related products accounting for the largest share. Thailand was the leading export destination during the first seven months of the year, importing MVR 809.44 million worth of fish, followed by the United Kingdom with imports valued at MVR 252.46 million.
