Fishery Co-operatives
Fishers did not get good prices on the fish they caught as fish is a perishable item. They were exploited by money lenders who loaned them money and agents who purchased the fish from them.
Fishery Co-operatives provide the following benefits:
1. Provide marketing facilities, godowns, cold storages, transportation etc.
2. Ensure that the fishermen get good rates and help export the fish as well.
3. Provides financial assistance to the fishermen.
4. Provides various fishing equipment, tools, boats and information regarding fishing areas.
