Centre Plans Tuna Export Hub in Andaman & Nicobar Islands
India aims to develop the Andaman and Nicobar Islands into a tuna export hub, capitalizing on its annual tuna yield potential of 64,500 tonnes. This move aligns with the surge in tuna exports, which rose 31.83% in 2023-24, generating $87.96 million. Despite abundant resources, challenges such as outdated fishing methods and inadequate infrastructure hinder full potential. The government is focusing on skill development, modernizing facilities, and sustainable practices. This initiative will enhance exports, provide local employment, and boost India’s marine economy, while requiring investments in technology and ecological management.
