Abstract

According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, a subsidy is a direct or indirect payment, economic concession, or privilege granted by a government to private firms, households or other governmental units in order to promote a public objective. In the fisheries sector, depending on the ’public objective’, subsidies would include grants, loans and loan guarantees to invest in fishing units; foregone government revenue in the form of tax rebates on fuel, and rebate on import duties on inputs like outboard motors, goods and services, other than general infrastructure, like fish-landing centres and fishing harbours. Export subsidies specific to the fisheries sector also exist.
