Minister Badani received Ali Daoudi, President of the Oran wilaya Chamber of Fisheries and Aquaculture, who conveyed the Chamber's concerns and proposed solutions for developing fishing activities in the wilaya, according to a Ministry press release.

 

Implement the President's instructions.

According to the same source, the meeting was part of a series of regular meetings with the presidents of the wilaya chambers and representatives of the profession, during which the president of the chamber was able to raise the concerns of the chamber and the proposals focused on the development of fishing activities in Oran, through the treatment of the issue of the management of fishing ports and the imperative physical separation between fishing boats and pleasure boats, in addition to the issue of social protection for the benefit of professionals, as well as that of retirement and training.

The minister stressed that the sector is committed to fully implementing the instructions of the President of the Republic aimed at improving the socio-professional conditions of fishermen, in coordination with the various partner sectors, to achieve the SDGs in the sector of fishing. He also recalled the incentive measures recently taken by the sector in favour of fishermen, in particular the decision to authorize the importation of engines from vessels less than five years old, provided for in the 2024 finance law, capable of resolving the problems of many fishermen and ship owners, given the numerous mechanical breakdowns particularly affecting old boats, in addition to authorizing the importation of vessels less than five years old intended for fishing on the high seas.
