The joint venture between Taiwanese Global Fisheries Limited and local Solfish Company has produced significant economic impacts for the Solomon Islands, report the Solomon Star.

This year they exported more than 50 reefer containers to overseas markets.

“We have managed to bring in more long line vessels into Honiara after they have seen the success for our joint venture,” said Global Fisheries Executive Officer Jack Chi Tien-I.

Tien-I said local business partner Solfish has also improved its onshore storage facility.
