| Activities
of fisheries cooperatives include:
Sale of members' products. The cooperative
collects aquatic products from members for
sale in the market. This gives them good
bargaining power in product pricing.
Purchase of goods. The cooperative obtains
fishing equipment and other necessities
for sale to members at reasonable prices.
Saving and loans.
3.1
Loan Fund. The cooperative obtains low-interest
funds and loans them to members for fishery
investment.
3.2
Deposits. The cooperative provides two types
of deposit accounts to members, savings
and fixed deposits.
Fishery service. The cooperative also provides
various services to members (e.g. setting
up a fish market, digging and improving
fish ponds and training in new fish farming
techniques).
