Indian Seafood Industry – Hygiene
Management & Export Strategies
K. Sasidharan Nair, Asst. Director, MPEDA

TOPICS
1. An Overview of the Indian Seafood Scenario
2. Food Safety – Hygiene and Control Measures
3. System for Exports from India to EU
4. Trade Relations with Japan105

An Overview of the Indian
Seafood Scenario

INDIAN SEAFOOD SCENARIO• Length of Coastline• Exclusive Economic Zone
• Marine Resource Potential• Present Level of Exploitation• Inland Resource• Present Level of Exploitation

106: 8129 Kms: 2.02 Mill.Sq.km.
: 3.90 Mill.M.T: 3.00 Mill M T: 4.50 Mill Ha: 5.00 Mill M T

INDIAN SEAFOOD SCENARIO(Contd...)• Over 432 seafood Processing Establishments engaged
in processing seafood for export.
• 237 establishments approved for exports to EU
countries .
• Installed Capacity :Over 16500 MT / Day.
• Major Markets: EU,USA, JAPAN, CHINA, South
East Asian Countries.
• Major Items Exported: Fr. Shrimp, Fr. Fish, Fr.
Cephalopods, Dried/Chilled / Live & Other Items.

INDIAN SEAFOOD TRADE¾ 2 % share in world seafood export trade¾ 22th position in world seafood exports¾ 1st largest supplier of shrimp to Japan¾ 5th topmost supplier of shrimp to Europe¾ Marine products contribute 1.30 % of India’s totalexports.
¾ India exports marine products to 95 countries

107

108

THE MARINE PRODUCTS EXPORTDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (MPEDA)• MPEDA is a statutory body established by an Act of the
Indian Parliament in 1972, constituted under the MoCI topromote production and export of marine products.
• Over 1000 Seafood exporters and 432 seafood processing
establishments are registered with the Authority.

MPEDA - BROAD OBJECTIVES• Development, conservation and management ofoff-shore / deep-sea fishing.
• Registration of seafood exporters and seafood
processing establishments, fishing vessels etc.
• Laying down standards and specifications forregistration of different entities.

109

MPEDA - BROAD OBJECTIVES(Contd...)• Rendering technical guidance and assistancefor export promotion/development of marine
products.
• Providing market intelligence to seafoodexporters.
• Imparting training on various aspects viz.,
HACCP (Quality Control) & Processing,Aquaculture, Trade Promotion, Extension
Activities etc.

SOCIETIES UNDER MPEDA• Network for Fish Quality Management andSustainable Fishing (NETFISH)• National Center for Sustainable Aquaculture(NaCSA)• Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (RGCA)

110

EIC/EIA• EIC is an advisory body to the Govt. Of India
set up under the Export (QC&I) Act 1963.
• EIC is empowered to:¾ notify commodities subjected to QC&I prior toexport.
¾ establish standards for quality.
¾ specify type of QC&I to be applied to different
commodities.

Food Safety – Hygiene andControl Measures

111

FOOD SAFETY – HYGIENE AND
CONTROL MEASURES• The basic law applicable for export of F&FP from
India are the GoI Order & Notification No. 729 (E)and 730 (E), 1995.
• Implementation of HACCP system in all seafood
processing establishments is mandatory to ensure thehygiene and safety of the products exported.
• HACCP compliance audit is carried out prior toapproval of the establishments to ensure food safety.

HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CRITICALCONTROL POINTS (HACCP)• HACCP is a preventive food safety
management system that emphasizes onprocess controls and concentrate on points
critical to the safety of the product.
• This management tool is neither a stand-alone
nor a zero-risk system.

112

HACCP Training• MPEDA organizes HACCP training programmes
to the seafood processing technologists towards
capacity building.
• The programme is based on the standardized
curriculum of the US FDA.
• The faculty for the training programme haveundergone advanced training on “Conducting
Seafood Inspections (FD 249)” under US FDA
Office of Regulatory Affairs.

HACCP TRAINING(Contd...)• Since 1996, MPEDA has organized over 90 training
programmes and has trained more than 3000 technicalpersonnel of the Indian seafood industry.
• The course is divided into three distinct segments:¾ HACCP Fundamentals¾ Relationship of HACCP with regulatory requirements¾ Work sessions to develop a ‘Seafood HACCP Plan’113

HACCP TRAINING(Contd...)The course also gives special emphasis on:• Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and
Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures(SSOPs) to ensure food hygiene• Traceability System• Awareness on the national regulations andinternational regulatory requirements withspecial reference to EU

REGISTRATION & APPROVAL OFESTABLISHMENTS• MPEDA is the registering authority of all seafood
processing establishments exporting Fish &Fishery Products (F&FP) from the country.
• EIA (under EIC) is the Competent Authority
approving the establishments to carry out exportof F&FP through the Inter Departmental Panel(IDP) inspections.

REGISTRATION & APPROVAL OFESTABLISHMENTS(Contd...)• The registration of the establishment is based oncompliancetostandards
specified,includingpermission/NOC from civic authorities concerned,
Pollution Control Board (PCB), etc.
• Approval is granted based on the assessment andsubsequent recommendation of an IDP comprising ofmembers from MPEDA, EIA and CIFT.
• Approval by Competent Authority (EIA) will be followedby issuing an approval number & certificate of approvalto the establishment (valid for two years).

116

EXPORTS FROM INDIA TO EU• The establishments have to comply with relevant EU
norms and are approved based on the assessment andrecommendation of the IDP.
• Concurrence of the European Commission is required
for the approvals granted by the Central Competent
Authority (EIC).
• Consignment-wise health certificate is issued by theCompetent Authority based on their monitoring toensure compliance with relevant regulations andguarantees given to the Commission.
