During 2021-22, India exported 13,69,264 tonnes of marine products worth US$ 7.76 billion, registering an all-time high export by value, while production of shrimp crossed one million MT. With a multipronged strategy, addressing capture fisheries and aquaculture, the export turnover is likely to achieve US$ 15 billion in next five years. Sustainable fishing methods, value addition and increased aquaculture production through diversification are expected to support the ambitious target set for export.
MPEDA Chairman Dr K.N. Raghavan announced that the biennial showpiece event in the seafood sector, the biggest in the industry aimed at showcasing the export potential of India, will be organised at the sprawling Biswa Bangala Mela Prangan in Kolkata. It will provide an ideal platform for interaction between Indian exporters and overseas importers of the country’s marine products.
