Scheme for conversion of small boat for preservation of Tuna catch |
It was observed that large number of country crafts are operating for tuna and catching large quantities. As these vessels do not have any facility for preserving their catch onboard the vessel they always end up getting a low price for their catch. Empowering the poor fishermen to improve quality of their products will lead to its increased exportability in addition to the socio economic benefits to the traditional sector. |
MPEDA will give a maximum assistance of 50% of the cost including fixing or Rs.20,000/- whichever is less for integrating / installing of FRP tank / box in small country crafts.
