Although approval was granted at the cabinet meeting on 21 August 2024 to take remedial measures for the fishing industry affected by the sharp rise in fuel prices, the decision has yet to be implemented. Therefore, the Cabinet of Ministers has now approved a proposal by the President, in his capacity as Minister of Agriculture, Land, Livestock, Irrigation, Fisheries, and Water Resources, to provide the following concessions for six months starting from 1 October 2024, aimed at improving the economic conditions of the fishing community.
