Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: 123rd. India became the 123rd WTO member to deposit the Instrument of Acceptance for the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies on 20 July 2026. The WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies was adopted at the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference held in Geneva in June 2022. The Fisheries Subsidies Agreement regulates subsidies related to marine wild capture fishing and excludes aquaculture and inland fisheries from its scope. The agreement prohibits subsidies supporting illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and addresses issues of overfishing and overcapacity in marine fisheries. India has sought a 25-year transition period for developing countries and stronger rules on distant-water industrial fishing fleets during Phase II negotiations. The WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies entered into force on 15 September 2025 after acceptance by two-thirds of WTO members. India’s fisheries subsidies are among the lowest globally at around $15 per fisher family annually, and India is not classified as a heavily industrialised fishing nation.
