Blue Economy Fisheries :
India is the world’s second-largest aquaculture producer and one of the leading global producers of fish and aquatic foods.
Over the years, the sector has transformed from a predominantly subsistence activity into a commercially robust, export-oriented ecosystem spanning farming, feed, processing, cold chains, logistics, and value addition while continuing to support millions of small, marginal and artisanal fishers and farmers.
Supported by targeted schemes and well‑designed policies, India today ranks as the sixth-largest exporter of fish and fishery products.
In 2024–25, seafood exports reached 16.98 lakh metric tonnes, valued at Rs.62,408 crore (USD 7.45 billion), contributing nearly 18% to India’s total agricultural exports
