What is a Fishing Services loan?

This policy applies to loans for fishing projects that will be income generating, and where the fishing activity forms the major component of the project (i.e. more than 50% of the loan will be invested directly on fishing activity). The policy recognises that the harvesting and supply of fish to both local and export markets is considered to be a priority investment sector.
