With Japanese demand picking up, seafood exports set to increase

Seafood exports are poised to pick up following the slight slowdown during the first couple of months of the current financial year. Even though prices, are, by and large, ruling firm in global markets, Mr.Anwar Hashim, President of the Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI), expects the country's seafood exports to get into top gear only when the current trawling ban imposed by some West Coast states is lifted next month.

At present, according to Mr.Hashim, India's seafood exports are being sourced from aquaculture farms and catch from the seas on the East Coast, while the catch from the west coast remains lacklustre due to the trawling ban in force during the monsoon months. Admitting that the crippling tsunami and threat of nuclear leak affecting the sea catch had impacted the Japanese market for nearly two to three months, the SEAI President said it was a thing of the past for the seafood industry now and that the Japanese markets had not only stabilized but demand too had picked up over last year.

Overall, according to trade sources, demand for seafood, which had declined in the US during the depression period had not only picked up, but had also gained strength by the end of 2010 and the early part of 2011. Conceding that the prices in the US markets have been god, they point out that although the anti-dumping duty on shrimp exports from India has not been lifted, the current rates of duty are not prohibitive to have a huge impact on India's seafood exports. With regard to Europe, the season for seafood exports is just about to get underway. Mr.Hashim said that prices and demand for all seafood products, including frozen fish, have been good in the European market this year.
