Fisheries Department Considers PLI Scheme for Seafood Sector MSMEs to Boost Exports

The Fisheries Department is considering a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for MSMEs in the seafood sector to enhance international competitiveness, export infrastructure, technology adoption, and value addition. The initiative aims to increase value-added seafood exports and expand exporters from 1,200 to 5,000. Discussions between Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and Fisheries Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh focused on a coordinated strategy including product diversification and market expansion. A two-day 'Chintan Shivir' is planned for June 5-6, 2026, in Visakhapatnam to further these goals.
