Shrimp industry calk for policy changes

摘要

Although 2014 has been healthy, India's sector urges for unrestricted import quotas of broodstock, own produce for the opportunity to grow even further.Although the Indian shrimp industry has had a healthy year, propelling the larger seafood exports to $5 billion (?3.7 billion) in 2013, the sector is now looking for critical policy interventions to build on this growth.In particular the industry needs to be allowed unrestricted quotas of broodstock to meet shrimp demand, according to Ravikumar Yellanki of All India Shrimp Hatcheries Association."Policy is not conducive for hatcheries to produce good nau-pauli," said Yellanki. "We need good quality broodstock, unrestricted by quotas, to meet the demand."
