The Fisheries department will focus on providing high-quality fish products at affordable price and generating employment in the sector, Governor Arif Mohammed Khan said in his policy address in the Kerala Assembly on Friday.
Since the United Nations General Assembly has declared 2022 as International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture, holistic development of the sector will be a priority for the government. The department will offer model fish vending units and hygienic transportation to ensure empowerment of fisherwomen.
