Defying global freight disruptions and tariff volatility, Indian seafood exporters successfully expanded into non-traditional markets across South America, West Africa, and the Middle East. Export sentiment received a further boost after European health authorities approved 21 additional Indian marine processing facilities for direct export to the European Union. Despite these gains, exporters remain cautious regarding fluctuating global demand, high logistics costs, and strict international quality standards. The sector continues to transition toward higher-value frozen and processed marine products to secure sustainable long-term profit margins across competitive global markets.
