The Kupala Administration recently looked to begin investing into fisheries and aquaculture in an effort to give rural Vrosnok more support and care. While it's resulted in deficit spending, the (somewhat half) measures have been somewhat successful so far. But because of limited finding being provided, this obviously has lead to some issues. Now, the Kupala Administration is looking to fix this, fix any holes in the proverbial ship, and support the confederations goal of a strong diverse economy.

So, for starters, laying cement over the holes. While basic infrastructure and jobs have rolled out, it's just that. Basic. And basic doesn't get economies rolling. As such, it's time to roll out the cement. Cold storage will be expanded drastically, and micro loans will be provided to private interests looking to develop small aquaponic startups. Finally, the Vrosnoki Fisheries Registry (Рыбны рэестр Вроснокі) will be created, looking to work with state and private owned fisheries in monitoring worker conditions, operations, exports and ensure documentation.

Furthermore, universities across the country will be encouraged to offer studies on cold chain logistics and modern aquaponics. A well trained, well educated workforce is a good workforce. Furthermore, the state will support the creation, and encourage the creation of unions in all industries, but especially in the fishery industry. This ensures fair pay, and good conditions and gives the average Vrosnoki a voice. 

More work is always needed before we can say we're done, but should these efforts succeed, Vrosnoki Fisheries can focus on exporting to other republics in the confederation and be a major exporter of fish and such for the confederation. But the biggest questions asked are if this can reverse the deficit spending without enacting more austerity than already being seen in the Confederation.
