In the Food and Hospitality Fair that was conducted in Male’ last week, no food product from Maldives was seen.
Lot of products from India and Sri Lanka were seen in this fair where pioneers from the tourism industry attended. As for vegetables, most of it was from Sri Lanka.
A lot of fruits and vegetables are produced in Maldives. There are difficulties in marketing these products. Many people note that, Maldivian farmers not taking part in such a fair is a huge problem. It is important to think about using such opportunities to network and make relations with pioneers of the tourist industry.
