The fish consumption pattern across 540 urban middle income
consumers was studied in metropolitan cities of Chennai,
Mumbai and Cochin in India. The study focused on income and
expenditure pattern, buying behaviour, constraints in fish
consumption and willingness to pay (WTP) for high value fishes
among the consumers. WTP was determined using logit model.
Domestic prices were 20-25 percent more than export price
nevertheless a sizeable demand exists with high consumer
surplus. The constraint analysis indicated reduced availability,
seasonal consumption and exorbitant price of fish in the
domestic market. Most domestic consumers were unaware
about the low export price and around 50 percent indicated
then WTP for if available. The study exposed significant
deleterious effect of fish demand - supply mismatch in domestic
market. The study advocates governmental interventions in
regulating fish exports to ensure domestic fish food security and
substituting exports with domestic marketing considering the
sizeable WTP.
