Species Specific Aquaculture Technology Development by RGCA

(C) MPEDA 2015

AREAS OF CO-OPERATION

(C) MPEDA 2015

Cage culture

• Cage culture in India is its infancy. • MPEDA through it’s R&D arm RGCA has

developed technologies for species like Tilapia, Cobia, Seabass (Barramundi) suitable for cage culture in farm, open reservoirs and offshore waters.

• Australia’s rich knowledge base, technical expertise and experience in cage culture is highly sought after for development of cage culture in India

(C) MPEDA 2015

Value addition• India is gradually transforming itself from raw

material supplier to a Value added products supplier.

• VAP exports nearly doubled last 5 years to USD 747 million in 2014-15. MPEDA aims to achieve more than 50% of India’s exports through VAP exports.

• Australia can provide the Technology / machinery in Frozen / chilled / Live products including packaging systems to Indian seafood exporters

(C) MPEDA 2015

Investment• India has a policy of 100% FDI in food processing

through automatic approval route • Many a MNCs are operating in India profitably; ex:

CP, Thai Union, SIAM Canadian, Phillips crab, Handy crab Higashimaru etc.

• Many leading buyers of seafood like Sysco, Walmart, Chicken of the Sea, etc. have exclusive arrangements with Indian processors with long term contracts.

• Australian investors can invest in fishing, aquaculture, processing sectors

(C) MPEDA 2015

(C) MPEDA 2015

(C) MPEDA 2015

Technology

• There are well established fisheries like Lobster, Octopus, Squid, Tuna, Crab in India.

• However the technology can be further strengthened for efficient operations

• Australian experience in these species will be beneficial to Indian fisherman / farmers / exporters.

(C) MPEDA 2015

Recreational Fishing

• India doesn’t have an organised recreational fishing activity.

• Australia’s experience / technology in recreational fishing would open up a new sector in fishing activity in India

• Growing income and largely youthful population provides for opportunities in this field.

(C) MPEDA 2015

Ornamental Fish

• Ornamental fish export is still in its nascent stage in the country.

• MPEDA organizes basic and advanced training programmes for the breeders. MPEDA has funded the project for breeding of indigenous species.

• MPEDA has initiated a programme for Green Certification of freshwater Ornamental Fishes and released the guidelines for the same. This is first of its kind in the world.

(C) MPEDA 2015

• There is growing interest in India for breeding and export of Marine Ornamental fish. Australian experience in this sector will be very beneficial to Indian breeders.

• There are several Public and private large oceanarium / aquarium planned to be developed in India.

(C) MPEDA 2015

Fishing Harbours• India has about 50 Major / Minor fishing harbours.

They are to be upgraded for the hygienic handling and transportation of the landed fish.

• Necessary infrastructural facilities may be provided to the existing harbour for up keeping the quality of the landed fish.

• Dredging of the area around most of the fishing harbours is to be done regularly.

• There is scope to establish new fishing harbours in the private sector ex: Muttom Fishing Harbour in the state of Tamil Nadu

(C) MPEDA 2015

WAY AHEAD

(C) MPEDA 2015

• India - Australia CECA negotiations are underway. It is expected that signing of this agreement is going to further strengthen the trade relation between the country.

• Indian seafood exports to Australia have fallen significantly from earlier years.

• The talks between the regulatory agencies of India and Australia on bio-security concerns is expected to resolve all issues
