Tuna Canning factory The oceanographically turn with
the up-welling events in the Arabian Sea have endowed the abundance of
Tuna catch with high seasonal peaks and odd-time averages. Tuna makes
a valuable contribution to the animal protein supplies of coastal
population Noting the documented reports, it amounts to staggering
185,000 tons of tuna on sustainable basis with size ranges between
5-25 kegs. Yellow fin tuna is the donnnating species, which has got
very good international market for caning factories.
Could be generalized in a healthy-scale
that the stocks of large-sized tunas are less-fully exploited and
substantial increase in catch should be realized by increased
efforts also. Virtually, regional catching efforts are marginal and
calculated yield per in Yemeni waters have always yielded favorable
figures for catches.
Southern sea cost of Yemen (Hadramout &
Mohra) registers more than 80% of the total yellow fin tuna landing.
Considering the quantity of raw rnaterial available with the low cost
it is proposed to establish a tuna-canning factory of a bout 3,000
tons raw material per annum.
Considering the expanding candied tuna
market in Japan European Union is beneficial to the country to export
canned tuna to earn foreign exchange
It is estimated that the plant of this
capacity will require and investment of a bout 6 million US dollars.
This investment will include a canning factory, cold storages,
freezing equipment and insulated vehicles.
Realizing the potentials of tuna
market, this proposed investment will have better prospects in the
fliture.
