The Indian seafood industry has long been a global leader, with exports, especially shrimp, playing a significant role in the sector’s growth. However, recent challenges, including fluctuating international demand, trade restrictions, rising production costs, and competition from other seafood-exporting nations, have led to a slowdown in exports. This shift underscores the need to strengthen India’s domestic shrimp and fish market as a key driver of industry growth.
With a growing middle class, increasing health consciousness, and evolving consumer preferences, India presents immense untapped potential for shrimp and fish retail. Urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and the expansion of modern retail and e-commerce platforms have created new opportunities to boost domestic consumption. However, challenges such as cold chain infrastructure gaps, consumer awareness, and supply chain inefficiencies must be addressed.
This conference aims to explore strategies for enhancing shrimp and fish retail in India, leveraging market data, culinary innovation, and policy support. Sessions will focus on consumer insights, direct farmer-to-market access, chef-driven awareness campaigns, and digital retail transformation. By fostering collaboration between industry stakeholders, retailers, and policymakers, the event will chart a roadmap for a robust and resilient domestic seafood market
