Abstract

Among India's total marine product exports constitute a segment, which has been growing rapidly. Marine products export is contributing a significant share in increasing India's foreign exchange resources. Till the end of 1960, export of Indian marine products mainly consisted of dried items like dried fish, dried shrimp, shark fins, fish mauls etc. although frozen items are present in the export basket from 1953 in negligible quantities, it was only from 1961 that the export of dried marine products was over taken by export of processed items, making steady progress. With the devaluation of Indian currency in 1966 the frozen and canned items registered a significant rise. These items dominated the trade markets for Indian products and were also spread to developed countries from the traditional buyers in neighboring countries.
