"The Marshall Islands have a severe shortage of water for industrial use, so it is not appropriate to set up fish processing operations there such as canning factories. But their geographical location makes them suitable to be developed as a Pacific base for Taiwan's fishing industry, if they are amenable to this kind of cooperation," says Koo Kuan-min.
「馬紹爾當地工業用水嚴重不足，並不適合建設罐頭工廠等漁業加工相關產業，但如能和地理位置適中的該國合作，將可發展為台灣在太平洋地區的漁業基地」，辜寬敏評估。
