Marine products export up

India’s marine products exports increased by over 15% to $6.56 billion in April-December, 2025-26 on year because of a huge surge in shipments across several new markets such as Vietnam and Belgium, according to the Commerce Ministry. In December 2025, India exported marine products valued at $0.8 billion, an increase of 12% compared to a year ago. While the US remains the largest market, exports of seafood to Vietnam and Belgium increased by 99.9% and 90.3% respectively in the current fiscal year. There has been incremental growth in marine products exports to countries including Russia (45%), Canada (20%), Thailand (16.8%), Germany (52%), the UK (23%) and Japan (9%) in the first nine months. While shipments to the US have declined by over 7% in the current fiscal, this loss was ‘more than compensated’ by a rise in volumes to China, Vietnam, Belgium, Japan, Russia, Canada and the UK, as per a report.
