23. BUDGET 2016
144. Honorable Speaker, I regret to note that in spite of the country being an Island, we still import almost USD 150 million worth of fish and fish related products annually. Our local fishermen remain vulnerable to price fluctuations mainly due to seasonality and lack of storage facilities, changes in the regulatory framework and little access to finance and new markets in expanding their businesses

24. BUDGET 2016
146. Honourable Speaker, approximately Rs. 5,000 million worth of canned fish has been imported to the country annually on average in the last 5 years. Given the potential in the industry, I encourage the private sector to engage in fish canning. To incentivize this industry, I propose to implement a buy back mechanism through Lak Sathosa Ltd., which would be sold at a concessional price of Rs each. This will help reduce cost of living. I propose to allocate a sum of Rs. 300 million to Lak Sathosa.

25. BUDGET 2016
149. It is proposed to create agro and fish processing facilities in geographical locations close to the farm gate. This will be cost effective as facilities can be shared. Thus it is proposed to create an Agro Livestock and Fish Processing Park connecting the districts of Anuradhapura, Vavuniya and Kilinochchi. I propose to allocate Rs. 100 million for this purpose.

26. BUDGET 2016
150. Honourable Speaker, inland fisheries provide food nutrition and a source of income. This sector is underutilized. Therefore, I propose to allocate Rs.100 million to National Aquaculture Development Authority (NAQDA) to undertake programmes to enhance fish breeding capacity.

27. BUDGET 2016
151. I also propose to set up an Aquaculture Park in Batticaloa District by providing an enabling environment for the potential private sector investors to develop coastal aquaculture without causing environmental degradation. Aquaculture Park provides an 'investment ready' platform for organizations that want to set up commercial aquaculture operations. This Aquaculture Park will be developed and managed as a PPP. I propose to allocate Rs 100 million for the initial activities.

28. BUDGET 2016
152. The Shrimp industry has been faced with difficulties in the immediate past which has remained unattended. However, given the potential in the shrimp industry I propose to provide capital and working capital requirements of the shrimp farmers, hatchery operators and processors through the proposed ADB supported SME credit line. I also propose to provide guarantees through the SME credit guarantee fund to those who are engaged in shrimp farming.

29. BUDGET 2016
153. The suspension of fish export to EU market has adversely affected our local fishermen. As s sensitive government we are aware of the difficulties faced by some of our fishermen. As such, the government is engaged in a continuous dialogue to get this ban lifted which would once again provide the access to EU market. Government has already taken action to install transponders to fishing vessels to comply with international requirements.

30. BUDGET 2016
182. Primary industries are susceptible to price volatilities that may occur due to various issues. We will form a Primary Industry Council consisting of industry experts who will create strategies to meet the challenges faced by primary industries As stated in Honourable Prime Minister’s policy statement, we will be creating specialized agricultural and fishery export zones in the country. The Ministry of Primary Industries will be allocated Rs. 2,000 million for the establishment of the proposed agricultural and fishery export zones.
