Cooperatives

The Bosaso Artisanal Fishers Cooperative Union supports members with coordinated landings, shared ice supply, and group sales at Bosaso fish market. Ministry extension teams provide seasonal fishing guidance, handling training, and compliance awareness.

Members benefit from group bargaining, catch grading standards, and access to safety equipment under ministry programmes.

This cooperative organizes collective purchasing at auction, shared transport to urban markets, and training on hygiene and value addition. It links women traders to fair-price sales and cold-storage options coordinated with the Ministry.

Focused on lobster, reef fish, and nearshore species, the group pools transport and storage costs and shares compliance guidance on size limits. Training covers sustainable harvest, handling, and record keeping for licensed operations.

Empowers women in fisheries with micro-grants, processing kits, and market linkages. Works with the Ministry on fish-based nutrition awareness and household income support in coastal Mudug communities.
