Weather…

The Las Khorey Tuna Factory is located in the coastal town of Las Khorey, Somaliland, near the border with Puntland. The factory was built in 2015 with international donor support to boost the local fishing industry. It has cold chain and processing facilities for tuna supplied by local fishermen. Products are exported to Gulf states and Europe. The factory employs about 200 people, many of them women. Its processing capacity is around 10 tonnes of fish per day. The factory plays a key role in the local economy by creating jobs and providing a stable market for fishermen. Challenges include irregular fish availability and competition from large industrial trawlers. The factory is part of efforts to formalize and modernize Somaliland's fishery sector.
