  • Under the scheme, the government envisages a vital role for Fish Farmers Producers Organization (FFPOs) to boost growth and competitiveness in the fisheries sector.
  • While the Government encourages the States/UTs to mobilize members and come forward with proposals of establishing fisheries cooperatives, it is important to create a handholding mechanism and build capacity of the member fish farmers/fishers from the inception of any cooperative or FFPO.
  • This scheme aims to facilitate the development of viable and sustainable fish farming income generation model that would bring out socio-economic development and wellbeing of fishing communities in a holistic manner.
  • The Department of Fisheries so far has made a head start for setting up 90+ FFPOs worth Rs. 47.80 Crores with the help of NCDC and National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB).
