International FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION MEETING PLANNED ON FISHING COSTS AND EARNINGS: An International meeting on costs and earnings in fishing is being planned by the Food and Agricul- ture Organization for the autumn of 1958. It is expected that the meeting will last one week and will probably be held in London. The meeting will be of direct interest to fishermen, fishing boat owners, proc- essors, and others in the world's fishing industries, as well as to governments and organizations concerned with fisheries. "The meeting will be attended by men with direct experience of keeping track of costs and earnings. We hope that 20 or 30 qualified participants will come from important fishing countries belonging to FAO," states the Chief of the Economic and Statistics Branch, Fisheries Di- vision, FAO. The great part played today by governments in the mainte- nance and development of fishing industries, such as through sub- sidies, credit schemes, tax and duty remissions, price support and marketing schemes, and many others, has made studies of costs and earnings of paramount importance to them. "The industry is also particularly interested in such studies as a basis for ne- gotiation of contract prices, share agreements, minimum and maximum prices, and other business," the FAO official added. Governments, agencies, and those sections of the fishing industry sending par- ticipants will pay the cost of attendance. FAO will provide the secretariat and con- sultants and run the meeting. The host government will provide the meeting rooms and facilities. Interested persons who wish to contribute papers to the meeting should write to the Chief, Economics and Statistics Division, Food and Agricultural Organization, Rome, Italy.
