Tripura has urged the National Fisheries Board to support its initiative for achieving self-sufficiency in fish production, aiming to reduce dependency on external sources.
The state of Tripura has raised the issue of achieving self-sufficiency in fish production during a recent meeting of the National Fisheries Board. State representatives emphasized the need for strategic support to enhance local aquaculture capabilities.
The primary objective highlighted by the state delegation is to minimize reliance on fish imports from other regions. By boosting domestic production, Tripura aims to ensure a stable and sustainable supply of fish for its residents.
The discussion at the board meeting focused on the necessary infrastructure and policy measures required to meet this target. Officials from Tripura outlined the potential for growth in the state's fisheries sector, stressing that local production can meet a significant portion of the state's demand.
This move aligns with broader national goals to strengthen food security and support rural livelihoods through the expansion of the fisheries industry.
