Abstract

Insurance in the fisheries sector is under-utilised compared to other sub-sectors of agriculture in the country, says a new study. The sector has received little attention either at the Central or state levels, except for the presence of a few public insurance companies and cooperative bodies at the local level with limited scale of activity, says the study bythe Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI). Apart from accident risks of marine fishermen,other major risks like loss and damage to fishing vessels and gear and damage to coastal assets of fishermen are covered only at a limited scale across the country, including Kerala, it says.
