Many online registered MPEDA exporters have participated in the Seafood Expo. But what makes this year's Expo special? Let us discover the following sections.

Visitors brief their experience of Indian Food at the Seafood Expo 2023

A Convention filled with more than fifty major Nation stalls, Seafood Expo was instrumental in displaying Seafood from around the world. But most Seafood on display were frozen and put in tiny cup samples like Sushi.

 

"40 % of all shrimps consumed in the US are from India"

 

At the Indian Pavillion, Michelin chef Hemant Mathur was live cooking calamari and shrimp in Indian curry style. Distasted by the mostly frozen Food at the display, the heads of the people turned to the aroma of the tasting plates provided by the attendants at the Indian Stall. Chef Mathur became the star attraction at the India pavilion organized by the Marine Products Export Development Authority. He has been invited by the Indian Consulate of New York to the event. 

The Indian Pavilion had multiple booths from Indian Seafood Exporters coming to expand their customer base in the United States. MPEDA at Food Stall provided information on the quality, sustainability, and traceability of Indian Seafood. It also highlighted the measures that Seafood Companies in India take to meet the Industry’s standards.

Why is participation in such Expositions important for MPEDA licensees?

The role of MPEDA is to promote the Seafood Export market of India in various overseas markets. MPEDA also seeks to penetrate such new markets. Therefore, they have adopted an aggressive marketing strategy, i.e., Participation in International Seafood Fairs. Such participation goes a long way in promoting Marine Products in Foreign Lands, consequently earning better forex revenue for India every year.

Licensed MPEDA Exporters can have better access to the international markets through such moves.

Such participation is an effective method to market India’s array of seafood products. It will also push for value addition with International Buyers. With such participation, Indian Seafood Exporters registered at MPEDA can exhibit their products as well as interact with the Buyers, often culminating in confirmed orders for their products. Some of the reasons for such Global Fairs participation by the MPEDA can be any, some, or all of the following:

  • Increasing product demand in the international markets
  • Harnessing Market Opportunities
  • Strengthening India’s market share in Global Seafood Trade
  • Developing Indian Marine Export Market
  • Sustaining existing Trade Relations
  • Garnering Feedback on Seafood requirements 
  • Resolving Trade Issues with other Dignatories

Along with such purposes, MPEDA also receives direct orders at the food stalls. Also, MPEDA gets trade inquiries at its pavilion with subsequent follow-ups. Such moves aid in getting new trading partners and expanding their trading zone.
