Goa's fishing season reopening is facing challenges due to crew shortage and high diesel costs. The fishing industry is struggling to cope with these issues.
The fishing season in Goa has begun on a rocky note, with the industry facing a severe shortage of crew members. This, combined with the rising cost of diesel, has made it challenging for fishermen to venture out into the sea. The crew shortage is attributed to various factors, including the lack of skilled labor and the allure of other industries that offer better pay and working conditions. As a result, many fishing boats are lying idle, and the fishermen are struggling to make ends meet.
