Sunil Kohli, MD, Rahat Cargo said, “The exporters and the Indian government are aware of the challenges faced by the seafood export sector due to fluctuations in international market demand, price volatility, and rising input costs. Despite ongoing geopolitical shifts and the imposition of tariff and non-tariff barriers by importing nations, India’s shrimp exports during April–January 2025–26 have increased in both quantity and value compared to the corresponding period of 2024–25. This indicates continued positive growth in shrimp exports. To strengthen India’s seafood sector globally, the government is facilitating ease of business by amending regulations, streamlining imports, and reducing import duties on key aquafeed ingredients, aquaculture inputs, and fish processing ingredients.”
