Industry

Whilst these traditional industries and their ancillary services play a less significant role on the Isle of Man than they once did, they still provide considerable employment and have political, social and strategic importance.

The Manx Government, through its Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, acknowledges this importance by making available to farmers and growers a wide range of financial support measures and services by way of grants, loans and subsidies. Also provided are advisory/technical services relating to disease and pest control, all aspects of agronomy, animal husbandry, farm management and horticulture. Similar support is accorded to the catching sector of the sea fishing industry by way of grant and loan assistance for the acquisition and improvement of fishing vessels. Financial incentives are available to encourage Manx registered/crewed vessels to land fish to local processors, technical services and education. The Department also has its own fishery protection vessel which operates within the Island's territorial waters. Production subsidies are where possible quality orientated. The main objectives continuing to be competitive and buoyant industries maximising the worthwhile exploitation of export possibilities, subject to first satisfying the requirement of the home market.
