Buy Local at MISCO

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

The MISCO market opened up in Majuro in late 2017 and quickly became the go-to store for local products. The shelves are filled with local juices and vegetables with chilled coconuts in the fridge. But probably the biggest drawcard is the coolers out front that are packed with chilled local fish … and the stalks of bananas that add color to the scene.
Add in a range of clever products, such as solar-powered lights and throw nets, and it’s the perfect island place to shop.
The store is a partnership with the Bank of Marshall Islands and is managed by Arlington Tibon, who mentioned “we also export frozen fish overseas, for example to Guam, Hawaii and the US mainland.”
You can call the store on (692) 625-6665.

Directly opposite the store is its sister store, which has one of the biggest collections of handicrafts on Majuro. It is also the home of some adminsitration members of the Bank of Marshall Islands.

Checking out MISCo’s handicrafts are V7AB’s Antari Elbon with a visiting group of indigenous Taiwanese who were in Majuro in May, 2023, to help celebrate RMI’s Constitution Day. Antari is sitting with Wun-Long Ciou, who is the Deputy Director of Taiwan’s Council of Indigenous Peoples. Photo: Karen Earnshaw
