Marine Products

INTRODUTION
India is the third-largest fish and aquaculture-producing country. It accounts for 7.96% of the total global fish production. The industry employs more than 28 million people in India.
 
Marine resources of India constitute a coastline of 8118 kms, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million sq. mt., and a continental shelf area of 0.53 sq. mt. The inland resources include 0.27 million kms of rivers and canals, 2.45 million hectares of ponds, 3.15 million hectares of tanks, and 1.2 million hectares of floodplain lakes.
 
In 2020-21, India's total marine and inland fish production stood at 14.73 million metric tonne (MMT), which includes 11.25 MMT and 3.48 MMT from inland and marine sectors, respectively. Fisheries sector plays a crucial role in the national economy and is one of the key contributors to the country's foreign exchange earnings. In 2020-21, 66% of the Marine Fisheries and 51% of the Inland Fisheries potential were harnessed. The overall production of marine products in India has been growing consistently for the last ten years. Total fish production grew from 8.67 MMT in 2011-12 to 14.73 MMT in 2020-21.
 
India mainly has eight major fish-producing states: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Andhra Pradesh is the largest producer of marine products with 2019-20 production at 4.2 million MT. The share of Gujarat, Karnataka, Odisha and Maharshtra during the same period was 6%, 4.5%, 5.8% and 4%, respectively.
 
EXPORT TREND
India is among the top 5 fish exporting countries in the world. About 17% of India's agricultural exports are fish and fish products. In 2021-22, the country exported marine products of quantity 1.36 million MT. The value of exports for the same year was US$ 7.76 billion. This is an increase of about 30% over previous year. This is a great achievement considering the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and other difficulties related to logistics.
 
India mainly exports frozen shrimps, fish, cuttlefish, squids, dried items, live and chilled items. Out of these, frozen shrimp is the largest exported marine product contributing to more than 53% of the total quantity and about 75.11% of the total export US$ value.
 
In 2021-22, the frozen fish, cuttlefish and squid contributed 6.08%, 3.61% and 4.94% of the total marine products export value, respectively. The same contributed to 16.55%, 4.31% and 5.53% of the total quantity exported in the same year.
 
Marine exports from India are expected to reach US$ 14 billion by 2025. The Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) has already proposed a roadmap to achieve this target, which constitutes necessary steps to enhance production and promote seafood.
 
MAJOR EXPORT MARKETS
India exports fish and fish products primarily to the following regions - USA, China, EU, South East Asia, Japan and Middle East.
 
In 2021-22, with an import of US$ 3,371.66 million and a share of 37.56% in terms of dollar value, the USA remained the largest importer of Indian seafood both in terms of value and volume. Exports to the US increased in terms of volume by 27.63%, rupee value by 36.76%, and dollar revenue by 37.56%. The main product shipped to the USA was frozen shrimp.
 
With an import of 2,66,989 MT worth US$ 1,175.05 million, or 19.50% in terms of quantity and 15.14% in terms of dollars, China became the second-largest seafood export market from India in terms of volume. Exports to China increased in volume by 22.28%, rupee value by 31.09%, and dollar value by 25.12%.

The objective of the scheme is to increase the fish production to 22 million MT by 2024-25, enhance aquaculture productivity to 5 tonnes per hectare and increase the GVA contribution of the fisheries sector to 9% by 2024-25.
b) Fisheries and Aquaculture Infrastructure Development Fund (FIDF)
In 2018-19, the Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying formed a fund called the Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying (FIDF) to meet the infrastructure requirement of the fisheries sector.
