May 2 World Tuna Day- FFA takes stock of progress
There are more jobs in Pacific fisheries. Information collected recently shows that the number of people with full-time jobs in fisheries has now reached a new high of over 16,000. Between 2010 and 2013 over 2,000 new jobs were created in tuna processing (many of them for women), and more than 400 as fishing crew. Under its investment facilitation programme, FFA is helping member countries build their domestic industries.
