Imported Fish: Local Fishermen Claim They Lost 60% of Market

Mauritian fishermen are facing a devastating crisis as they struggle to compete with imported fish, leading them to urgently seek government assistance.

The president of the Fishermen’s Union, Judex Rampaul, reveals that they have lost 60% of their market share, endangering their livelihoods.

Rampaul pleads with the government to crack down on foreign fishing vessels and promote offshore fishing by local fishermen.

He highlights the additional burdens faced by fishermen, such as soaring fuel costs and exorbitant salvage insurance.

The fishing community expresses frustration with the government’s failure to deliver promised budgetary measures.

The fate of Mauritian fishermen hangs in the balance, awaiting government intervention to determine their future.
