Tamil Nadu aims for $5 bn seafood exports

The Tamil Nadu government has unveiled an ambitious roadmap to transform the state into a global seafood export hub, targeting USD 5 billion in exports by significantly scaling up value-added processing and infrastructure along its 1,076-km coastline — the second longest in India, according to state Industries Minister Dr TRB Rajaa. The plan was announced at the Tamil Nadu Seafood – Business Connect event held in Chennai, where senior state officials engaged with global importers and domestic players from India’s seafood processing ecosystem to forge new partnerships and boost exports. A detailed roadmap will be drawn up to operationalise the $5 billion target, with the government promising strategic investments and infrastructure support to catalyse the sector’s growth. This initiative is not just about trade. It is also about tapping into the immense potential of the Blue Economy, added the minister, as per a report.
