One of the primary goals of our community engagement programs is to empower local fishermen by providing them with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to improve their livelihoods and contribute to sustainable fishing practices.

• Skills Training and Development: GlobalSom offers comprehensive training programs for local fishermen, teaching them sustainable fishing techniques that minimize environmental impact while maximizing productivity. These programs include instruction on the use of selective fishing gear, bycatch reduction, and compliance with national and international fishing regulations. By equipping fishermen with modern skills and tools, we help them enhance their catch quality, improve efficiency, and protect marine ecosystems.

• Access to Modern Equipment: In addition to training, GlobalSom provides local fishermen with access to modern, eco-friendly fishing equipment. This not only improves their efficiency but also ensures that they engage in sustainable fishing practices that align with GlobalSom’s environmental stewardship goals.

• Creating a Support Network: We work closely with local fishing cooperatives and organizations to create a support network for fishermen. This network enables knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and collective problem-solving, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility for the sustainability of local fisheries.

GlobalSom’s operations contribute directly to the economic development of local communities by creating job opportunities across various sectors, including fishing, processing, logistics, and administration. Our commitment to job creation helps improve the economic prospects of individuals and families, promoting long-term stability and growth.

• Fishing and Seafood Processing Jobs: Through our fishing and processing operations, GlobalSom creates numerous employment opportunities for local residents. These jobs not only provide steady income but also help build skills that are transferable to other industries, contributing to the overall economic development of the region.

• Logistics and Supply Chain Opportunities: GlobalSom’s vertically integrated business model includes logistics and supply chain management, creating additional jobs in transportation, packaging, and distribution. This broadens the range of employment opportunities available to local communities and strengthens the economic infrastructure of the region.

• Empowering Women in the Fishing Industry: As part of our commitment to inclusivity, GlobalSom supports the participation of women in the fishing industry. We actively recruit women for roles in seafood processing, administration, and logistics, providing them with training and career development opportunities. This not only promotes gender equality but also enhances the overall economic resilience of the community.
