| This paper studies the current state of the seafood supply chain in India.
The first section discusses seafood sustainability and continues with a brief description of the Indian seafood industry.
The second section studies the stakeholders in the supply chain, their roles, income and social conditions.
The third section examines the bottom of the supply chain, i.e., the state of the landing centres and the fishermen.
Section four investigates whether the adoption of the Marine Stewardship Council label would be viable in the Indian environment.
The fifth section explains EU and U.S. seafood product and process regulations and their effect on the Indian supply chain. In the final section, the paper recommends improvements to the fisheries supply chain to make it more sustainable.
Recommendations include ensuring hygienic ice and water facilities for fish preservation and cleaning; basic hygiene training to fishermen; promotion of fishermen cooperatives and an integrated approach to food safety.
This paper does not venture into the domestic government initiatives to promote sustainability. |
