Seafood Industry

Seafood industry poised to ride India-UK free trade pact wave

The pact is expected to particularly benefit exports of shrimp, frozen fish, and value-added marine products—boosting India’s presence in one of its major seafood destinations alongside labour-intensive sectors like textiles, leather, and gems and jewellery.

Seafood industry bearing the brunt of US embargo on shrimp export
