Export volumes also touched <strong>19.32 lakh metric tonnes<\/strong>, reflecting strong global demand and improved competitiveness of Indian marine products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This growth highlights India\u2019s strengthening position in the global seafood market, driven primarily by shrimp exports and expansion into diversified international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%A6%90_Frozen_Shrimp_Dominates_Export_Basket\"><\/span>\ud83e\udd90 Frozen Shrimp Dominates Export Basket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Frozen shrimp continues to be the backbone of India\u2019s seafood exports.

Earlier, exports were largely limited to frozen fish and traditional marine products. However, with the establishment of the <strong>Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA)<\/strong> in 1972, India began systematic development of its marine export sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, technological improvements in aquaculture\u2014especially shrimp farming\u2014transformed India into one of the leading seafood exporters globally. The introduction of export-oriented processing units, cold chain infrastructure, and quality certification systems helped India expand into premium markets like the USA, Europe, and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, government initiatives such as <strong>Blue Revolution schemes<\/strong>, export incentives, and sustainability regulations have further strengthened the sector. The FY 2025\u201326 milestone is a continuation of this long-term growth trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8A_Key_Takeaways_from_%E2%80%9CIndia_Seafood_Export_Record_Growth_FY_2025%E2%80%9326%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\ud83d\udcca Key Takeaways from \u201cIndia Seafood Export Record Growth FY 2025\u201326\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>S.
