TEHRAN - Infrastructure is provided for foreign investment in Iran's fishery sector, IRNA quoted the Iranian Fishery Organization Director Gholamreza Razeqi as saying.

Some 66 trillion rials (about $5.4 billion) has been allocated to the development of the fishery sector, he added.

In October 2012, Razeqi said that the value of exports of Iran's fishery sector will surpass $350 million in the current calendar year.

"The exports stood at $210 million last year," Razeqi said, IRNA reported.
Over 200,000 individuals are currently working in the fishery sector, he noted.
