New Delhi: India’s seafood exports rose 13.93 per cent in value terms in April-October 2025 to $4,793.08 million from $4,207.08 million a year earlier, the government said on Friday, adding that total volume and value of shrimp exports from India to the US remained robust during the last five years.
However, the frozen shrimp shipments to the United States moderated in the same period, and the government has stepped up market diversification efforts, organising buyer–seller meets amid other efforts, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Jitin Prasada, said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
Frozen shrimp exports to the US fell to 55,282 tonnes valued at $512.81 million in August-October 2025 (provisional data), from 83,375 tonnes worth $673.98 million in the same period of 2024.
The minister further informed that the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) has participated in major international seafood fairs across Asia and Europe.
