I would like to share some of personal view on sustiable small -sale fishers in the context of food secturity and poverty eradication.
1. Revise government policy on fishers in time to time, create awerness for increase fish consumption, this will leads to demand for fish.
2. More than 90 percent of the fisheries households are depends on SSF, so, provide adequate subsides based on the demands of fisheries households, like finance support with zero rate of interest to purchase inputs.transport fesicilities.
3. Many of the fisheries households facing poor in getting the social and economical secturities measures from the government, example getting in higher education in college, occpuational losses at the time moonsoon seasons, etc.
4. Women in fihseries households mainly depends on the SSF, give proper training, marketing and price for their products, and encourage to them to participate co-opertinve system of production.
5.Establish industrial centres for producing fishers based products will generate employment and entreprenerial opportunties to them.
6. Transformation of employmet is must, many fisheries household still primarly depends on fisheris farms, engourge them to diversified occupational structures.
7. Government provide special finanancial assistance scheme for aged and poor fisheries households.
