Abstract:
This study provides an overview of fish and fishery products exports from India as a whole before
focusing on the fish and fishery products sector in Kerala. The food safety and other technical
requirements facing Indian exporters of fish and fishery products are then reviewed. The remainder of the
study explores experiences with food safety controls, in particular across Kerala’s major export markets,
examining the efforts made by the Indian government and the impact on the processing sector as a whole
and the preprocessing sector in particular. Finally, the remaining challenges faced by the fish and fishery
products sector in Kerala as well as India as a whole are assessed in the context of the manner in which
both the government and exporters have responded to changes in food safety and other requirements in
major export markets
