Government plans to reform fisheries

ISLAMABAD: The Balochistan government has planned to establish a fishing business venue alongside the coastal line of the province in a bid to boost the sector by providing access to national and international markets. Talking to APP, an official of the Balochistan fisheries department emphasised that the province possesses the capacity to produce excellent-quality fish and export to the global market. “Construction of the fishing venue has been ensured on the directives of the Balochistan chief minister in a bid to give a boost to this untapped sector and provide facilities to local fishermen,” he said. “The government aims to reform the fisheries department so the interested entrepreneurs and investors can promote farming in the province purely on a commercial basis.”
