India Secures EU Market Access for Seafood Amid US Tariff Challenges

India actively negotiated with the European Union to open its seafood export market, countering the impact of a 50% US tariff that had significantly affected exports and distressed fishermen, Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said. The government addressed EU regulatory bottlenecks and restored over 125 Indian fishery establishments through quality control measures. This strategic effort helped India regain access to a large market, contributing to a 12-14% growth in seafood exports last year despite global uncertainties. Goyal emphasized the importance of long-term trade opportunities via free trade agreements and global partnerships.
