Description The marine products exports from India
continue to surge up new heights, unabated
by the global recession. During 201 1-12, the
quantum of exports surpassed 8.10 lakh
- , tonnes with a forex earning of 2.85 billion
dollar. The appreciation of the Indian rupee
hasn't really affected the export earnings.
The reason for the sustained increase in
exports is due to the demand for raw fish,
rather than value-added products from the
retail outlets, as the buyers opted for cheaper
fish on account of lower income and
increasing unemployment. Nevertheless,
being a heavy export earner, the fisheries
sector is facing numerous problems on
account of economic shortcomings,
technical constraints, institutional limitations,
trade restrictions and marketing lacunae.
