Description Fish and fishery products are highly traded commodities and nearly 40

per cent of the global fish production goes for international trade. There was

a tremendous increase in the international trade of fish and fish products

consequent to structural changes in the fishery sector contributed by

technological innovations in harvest and post-harvest sectors, trade

liberalization policies and increase in consumption. The advanced technologies

for processing, packaging, storage, transportation coupled with substantial

reductions in freight charges has promoted the international trade of new

product forms and entry of new producers and traders to the global market.

In 2009, trade in fish and fishery products represented about 12 percent of

total agricultural exports (FAO,2010). Apart from providing foreign exchange

earnings, fish and fish products trade is a significant contributor to the economy

of developing countries through generation of employment in the secondary

and tertiary sectors. In 2010, 75 percent of the value of fishery exports from

developing countries was destined towards developed countries. A growing

share of these exports consisted of processed fishery products prepared from

imports of unprocessed fish to use as raw material for further processing. The

developed countries thus gain comparative advantage in trade by way of

utilizing the cheap raw materials and labour available in developing countries.
