The fishery is ready. The catch needs to stay cold.
Masig has the fishery. It has the skill, generations deep. It has trade relationships across the Strait older than the country that renamed the islands. What it does not have is a way to keep the catch cold.
Without ice and freezing, seafood must move fast or not at all, and value leaks out of the Strait with every rushed sale. The community's plan is simple and exact. Freezing and ice production in a shipping container, running off the grid. Preparation infrastructure at the jetty. Catch processed at the dock, held frozen, traded island to island on Masig's schedule instead of the buyer's. The knowledge is already there. What is missing is the cold. That, a partner can help with.
- Containerised freezer and ice production, solar with battery storage
- Jetty preparation facilities
- Community ownership through the local corporation
- Projected outcome: seafood value held in the Strait, new trade across neighbouring islands, jobs at the dock
Back the cold chain directly. One partner, one asset a community keeps.
