Indian fisheries sectors should deploy more scientific methods of production: Parshottam Rupala
There is a need to for the fisheries sector to focus on domestic market consumption along with exports, deploying more scientific methods of production, said Parshottam Rupala, Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying.
Realising the sector’s potential, the Government has committed to a national target to increase fish production to 22 million metric tons by 2024-2025, which will have a positive impact on 28 million fishers and fish farmers and almost twice that number along fish-related value chains, the minister said at an event organised by Confederation of Indian Industry in collaboration with the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, National Fisheries Development Board and the Marine Products Export Development Authority on “Showcasing India as a hub for Aquaculture and fisheries Investment” on January 21, 2022.
“(At present) 74% of India’s export is shrimp; however the share of value added products is low at 7%. Thus, there is a huge scope to increase value added exports and in tandem increase price points for fishermen. Towards this, India must focus on strengthening seed quality and availability, smart farming and food safety standards,” Rajnikant Rai, Chief Executive, Agri Businesses Division, ITC said.
