The Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development Ministry will earn 50
percent of the national income from the fisheries industry, said
Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development Minister Dr Rajitha
Senaratne.
The fisheries industry is one of the most prominent industries in Sri
Lanka. The country had been self sufficient from the fisheries industry
for a long time, he added.
"Don't be afraid to invest on the fisheries industry. I will get the
responsibility of all those investments," the Minister said.
Minister Senaratne was addressing the Shramabhimani Fisheries Award
Ceremony at the BMICH Wednesday. The award ceremony was organized by the
Fisheries Ministry in collaboration with the Shramabhimani National
Organization to facilitate the fisheries community and various
industries involved in the fisheries industry. |
