Australia has requested details from India regarding its fisheries programs, including policy objectives, budget expenditures, and coverage, during a meeting at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Australia also inquired about performance requirements and whether the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) includes objectives related to harnessing tuna resources in India’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and the high seas. Additionally, Australia sought information on India’s program for converting trawlers into deep-sea fishing vessels, including funding details and whether it is ongoing under the PMMSY.
