TODAY -
Hygienic fish markets soon
Telegraph | Guwahati, July 8:
The National Fishery Development Board will set up hygienic modern fish markets in the Northeast on the lines of those in Andhra Pradesh. Union minister of state for agriculture and food processing Arun Yadav told reporters here today that all the states of the Northeast, including Sikkim, would get modern hygienic fish markets. He was speaking on the sidelines of a workshop on Strategies on Enhancement of Productivity of Fisheries in North Eastern States.
At present, fish production in the Northeast is only 3.7 per cent of the national production. To meet the shortage, the region imports fish from Andhra Pradesh. Imphal alone needs 25,000 tonnes of fish a year while Manipur produces just 19,600 tonnes. “Considering the geographic aspect, Assam should take the lead in fish production in the region,” Krishnaiah said.
