Govt asks seafood exporters to explore alternative markets in the wake of US tariff move
NEW DELHI: Amid concerns over the US move to impose a 50% tariff on Indian goods that may significantly impact the export of India's fisheries, the government on Monday asked seafood exporters to explore alternative markets for shrimps and other fish varieties. 'We have asked them (exporters) to face the current challenge bravely. There are alternative markets available... Where there is a will, there is a way,' Union fisheries and animal husbandry minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh said after a meeting with seafood exporters. India is currently the leading supplier of frozen shrimps and prawns to the US, with its market share increasing significantly from 24.4% in 2015 to 40.6% in 2024. Since the enhanced tariff will impact India's market share in the US, the country will have to explore alternative markets. The meeting on Monday was held to chart a strategy to expand India's market reach. The alternative markets identified for the purpose include the UK, European Union (EU), Oman, UAE, South Korea, Russia and China, with there being special focus on South Korea's potential and west Asia's growing demand for Indian seafood. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Malaysia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo Emphasising the need for greater value addition and better packaging in gaining new markets, Singh said, 'We have asked them (exporters) to work in this direction'. The minister said the govt has come out with draft guidelines on fishing in high seas and Exclusive Economic Zones, and sought public comments within a month. 'This will harness fisheries, especially tuna fish in Lakshadweep islands and Andaman and Nicobar and give a further boost to India's exports,' he said. Besides highlighting tariff barriers in major markets including the US, the stakeholders pointed out non-tariff barriers such as private testing, third-party clearances, and farm certifications. The gaps in cold chain and processing infrastructure for niche products were also brought up. Singh asked the exporters to take advantage of the Fishery Infrastructure Development Fund to upgrade and strengthen value-addition, processing and packaging facilities. India's annual fish production has witnessed high growth of 104%, rising from nearly 96 lakh tonnes in 2013-14 to 195 lakh tonnes in 2024-25. India exported 17.81 lakh metric tonnes of seafood, worth Rs 60,524 crore ($7.38 billion), during 2023–24. Frozen shrimp continued to be the most significant item in India's seafood exports basket, earning Rs 40,013 crore ($4.88 billion).

Pilots in demand: Why the EU's open-mobility approach aligns with global aviation's future
Capt. Amit Singh is an aviation professional with over 35 years of experience in commercial airlines, including pivotal roles in three startup airlines, where he developed systems for efficient, low-cost, and profitable operations. A leader in flight operations, safety, and pilot training, he channels his expertise into writing insightful articles on aviation, history, and strategic thinking. Capt. Singh is a sought-after speaker at international safety and training conferences, blending technical knowledge with a passion for storytelling and analysis. Additionally, he explores his creative side through painting, reflecting a well-rounded personality committed to growth and innovation. LESS ... MORE At the 42nd ICAO Assembly, two working papers addressed the same problem, the aviation sector's acute shortage of skilled personnel, but arrived at starkly different solutions. The European Union called for enlarging the talent pool and making aviation careers more attractive; India sought a global 'code of conduct' to coordinate or slow the recruitment of its trained personnel by foreign airlines. Both arguments invoke the Chicago convention's commitment to the 'safe and orderly conduct' of international civil aviation. But only one is compatible with the International Labour Organisation's principles of free movement — and the practical realities of today's workforce. The Indian position: Protecting domestic workforce stability India's submission frames foreign recruitment of its trained pilots, engineers, and cabin crew as a destabilising factor in a fast-growing market. It argues that poaching, without prior coordination, undermines planned fleet expansion and forces carriers to divert resources to replace departing staff. The proposed remedy is an ICAO-led model code of conduct that requires standardised notice and consultation before international recruitment. India's civil aviation requirements (CAR) already mandate a six-month notice period for pilots moving between Indian carriers, double the domestic industry norm of three months. This is more than enough time to initiate replacement recruitment and complete type rating or command upgrades. The EU position: Global shortage, global mobility The EU views the human capital shortfall as a universal supply-side problem. Skilled personnel are scarce across all domains: flight crew, air traffic management, engineering, and regulatory bodies. The cause lies in: Uncompetitive salaries and benefits. Poor fatigue management and quality-of-life conditions. Pandemic-related workforce departures. Competition from other sectors. Insufficient diversity and outreach to underrepresented groups. The EU's solution is not to restrict movement, but to make aviation more attractive and expand training capacity. It explicitly supports mobility in line with ILO Conventions No. 97 (Migration for Employment) and No. 111 (Non-Discrimination), and ICAO's next generation of aviation professionals (NGAP) initiative. No evidence of 'unplanned departure' India's operational stability argument rests on the notion of sudden, uncoordinated exits. But with a legally enforced six-month notice period, there is no operational ambush. Airlines have ample lead time to schedule simulator slots, run upgrade courses, and recruit replacements. The reality is that pilots are leaving for better pay, more predictable rosters, effective fatigue management regulations, and improved overall quality of life. These are retention issues within the employer's control, not inevitable consequences of foreign recruitment. Once a pilot has served the legally required notice, any attempt to block their departure moves into the territory of restricting free movement — a clear conflict with ILO principles. Global parallels: IT and medicine In other skilled sectors — information technology, medicine — professionals routinely migrate to global opportunities. India trains software engineers who join firms in Silicon Valley, and doctors who serve in the UK's national health service (NHS). These sectors do not call for ICAO-style 'codes of conduct' to restrict recruitment. Instead, they expand training pipelines and improve retention incentives at home. If we accept this in IT and medicine, there is no principled reason to treat pilots differently — unless there is a demonstrable safety risk. In India's case, the six-month notice rule already mitigates that risk. ICAO's role: Protect mobility, improve conditions ICAO's challenge is to balance national interests with its global mandate. The organisation's economic and personnel licensing policies favour non-discriminatory access to employment while safeguarding operational safety. For aviation human capital, the global interest lies in: Maintaining mobility so skills can flow to where they are most needed. Raising industry standards in pay, rest, fatigue management, and career development to improve retention. Expanding training capacity to meet growing demand without cannibalising other markets. The case for the EU's approach In the current context, the EU's approach is both more aligned with international labour rights and better suited to solving the underlying problem. Restrictions on post-notice movement do not create new pilots; they simply delay departure and may deter future entrants to the profession. The more sustainable path is to tackle the reasons pilots choose to leave: Address chronic fatigue with scientifically grounded fatigue management systems. Improve rosters and work-life balance. Offer competitive salaries and benefits. Modernise training and career progression. These measures require investment and policy reform, but they also respect the individual's right to seek the best available opportunity, a right enshrined in both ILO conventions and the ethos of an interconnected global industry. Conclusion: Mobility Is not the enemy Aviation's workforce crisis will not be solved by holding on to people through regulatory barriers once they have met their contractual obligations. With a six-month notice period already in place, India's airlines have the operational cushion they need. The challenge is not 'poaching' but persuasion — convincing skilled professionals that their future is brighter at home. ICAO must resist the temptation to endorse measures that could become precedents for restricting labour mobility in other sectors. Its focus should be on helping States build attractive, sustainable aviation careers, not on policing where those careers may take people. The EU's open-mobility stance is the one that best serves the global interest: a talent pool that is mobile, growing, and motivated, not constrained by borders once its obligations are fulfilled.

India casts wider net for seafood exports as US tariffs bite
New Delhi: Faced with steep tariff barriers in the United States, India is turning to fresh export markets for its seafood. Union minister for fisheries Rajiv Ranjan Singh said the government is looking at the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, China, Korea, and West Asia to widen the reach for India's seafood exports. 'We have asked them (seafood exporters) to face the current challenge bravely. There are alternative markets available…," Singh said during a press briefing on Monday. 'The EU, Japan, South Korea, UK, Russia, Australia, West Asia, South East Asia, and many countries are available for export of Indian seafoods." India exported marine products worth $7.39 billion in 2024-25, of which $2.68 billion, or about 36%, went to the US, according to the Marine Products Export Development Authority. Frozen shrimp accounted for a major share of these shipments. But Indian seafood shipments to the US are set to attract a total tariff of 59.7%, comprising countervailing and anti-dumping duties of 9.7%, up from 9.7% earlier, after US President Donald Trump announced additional levies of 25% effective 7 August and another 25% from 27 August. The burden is expected to be particularly heavy on shrimp, India's biggest seafood export. The Seafood Export Association of India has approached the commerce and finance ministries seeking emergency financial support, including a 30% increase in working capital through soft loans, news agency PTI reported on Sunday. Meanwhile, India's seafood exports to the United Kingdom are expected to increase after the two nations signed a landmark free trade agreement in July, eliminating tariffs on 99% of Indian exports. Under the FTA, the UK's import duties on Indian marine products will fall to zero from 20%. 'India's share in the UK's $5.4 billion seafood import market is just 2.25%. With CETA (the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) now in force, industry estimates project a 70% surge in marine exports to the UK in the coming years," India's ministry of fisheries, animal husbandry and dairying said in a statement after the India-UK FTA was announced. A wider net Rama Shankar Naik, commissioner of fisheries in Andhra Pradesh, said while India's seafood has significant scope in the domestic market, there is an urgent need to tap new overseas buyers. 'We have to look at new markets such as the Middle East, Russia, South Korea, and Europe," he said, noting that India's share in seafood exports to European countries had dropped to 11% from above 35% earlier. Andhra Pradesh leads India's seafood exports with nearly a 70% share, followed by Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Gujarat and Odisha. The US's 40% transhipment duty on Vietnam has added another woe for Indian exporters, traders said. The Southeast Asian country sources a significant volume of raw and semi-processed shrimp from India for value addition before re-exporting to the US. If Vietnam's shrimp export market contracts due to the US's duty, demand for Indian shrimp would also drop. In FY25, India exported marine products worth $381.77 million to Vietnam, down from $392.55 million in the year before, according to the commerce ministry data. India is preparing to counter the US's stiff tariffs on Indian goods by targeting new markets and offering incentives for exporters, Mint reported on 8 August. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is particularly focused on protecting the interests of India's farmers and fishermen. As part of those efforts, the government is looking to set up trade desks in regions like Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, which could unlock more than $60 billion in untapped export potential. India is also exploring new markets for agricultural and processed food products, including Nigeria, Switzerland, and Lithuania, Mint reported on 2 August. While the US has announced a 50% tariff on Indian goods, it has reduced the tariff for Vietnam from 46% to 20%, for Indonesia from 32% to 19%, and for Bangladesh from 37% to 20%. Indian exports in sectors such as apparel, auto components, leather goods, and certain foods are expected to be the worst hit by Trump's tariffs on India. India exported goods worth $86.5 billion to the US in FY25, or about 20% of the country's total merchandise exports of $433.56 billion.
