Government targets over $12 billion in exports within five years amid sector expansion and global demand shift

India’s fisheries sector has recorded a notable jump in exports, rising from ₹60,000 crore (about $7.2 billion) to ₹68,000 crore (about $8.2 billion), according to Union Minister of State Satya Pal Singh Baghel. The increase comes as India diversified into new international markets following tariff measures imposed by the United States, signaling resilience and growing global demand for Indian seafood.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Second National Veterinary, Dairy and Fisheries Symposium 2026 held in Nagpur, Baghel stated, “India's fisheries exports have increased by 25 per cent as we began exploring new markets soon after US tariffs were imposed.” However, he did not specify the exact period over which this growth occurred.

The government has now set an ambitious target of reaching ₹1,00,000 crore (approximately $12 billion) in fisheries exports over the next five years. Officials believe this goal is achievable due to expanding global outreach and stronger production capabilities.

According to the minister, key export hubs driving this growth include Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Lakshadweep, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which contribute significantly through both inland and marine fisheries.

Baghel emphasized that senior officials from the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying have been actively engaging with emerging markets to boost exports. He reiterated, “Our fisheries exports have risen from about Rs 60,000 crore to Rs 68,000 crore US tariff measures,” highlighting the sector’s adaptability despite trade challenges.

The minister also pointed to several government initiatives aimed at strengthening fisheries, animal husbandry, and dairy sectors, positioning them as key drivers of rural growth and export expansion.

The steady rise in exports underscores India’s strategic pivot toward diversified markets, reducing dependence on traditional buyers while capitalizing on increasing global seafood demand.

インドの水産物輸出、80億ドルを突破 米国関税を受けた市場多角化で急成長

政府は今後5年間で120億ドル超の輸出目標を設定、世界需要の変化とともに拡大

インドの水産業は顕著な輸出増加を記録し、₹60,000 crore(約72億ドル)から₹68,000 crore(約82億ドル)へと拡大した。これは連邦国務大臣サティヤ・パル・シン・バゲルによる発表である。この成長は、米国による関税措置を受けて新たな国際市場を開拓した結果であり、インド産シーフードの需要の強さと回復力を示している。

ナグプールで開催された第2回国家獣医・酪農・水産シンポジウム2026の傍らで講演したバゲル氏は、**「米国の関税が課された直後に新市場の開拓を始めたことで、インドの水産物輸出は25%増加した」**と述べた。ただし、この成長がどの期間にわたるものかは明らかにしなかった。

政府は現在、今後5年間で**₹1,00,000 crore(約120億ドル)**の水産物輸出達成という野心的な目標を掲げている。当局は、世界市場への進出拡大と生産能力の強化により、この目標は達成可能だとみている。

同大臣によると、この成長を牽引している主な輸出拠点には、アーンドラ・プラデーシュ州タミル・ナードゥ州オディシャ州ラクシャディープ諸島、およびアンダマン・ニコバル諸島が含まれ、内水面および海洋漁業の両方で大きく貢献している。

バゲル氏は、水産・畜産・酪農省の上級職員が新興市場との関係構築を積極的に進めていることを強調し、**「米国の関税措置を受けて、我々の水産物輸出は約6万億ルピーから6万8千億ルピーへと増加した」**と改めて述べ、貿易上の課題にもかかわらず同分野の適応力を示した。

同氏はまた、水産、畜産、酪農分野を強化するためのさまざまな政府の取り組みにも言及し、これらが農村経済の成長と輸出拡大の主要な原動力になると述べた。

輸出の着実な増加は、インドが市場の多角化を進める戦略的転換を進めていることを示しており、従来の輸出先への依存を減らしつつ、世界的なシーフード需要の拡大を取り込んでいる。

印度水产品出口突破80亿美元 多元化市场应对美国关税实现增长

政府设定未来五年出口目标超过120亿美元,行业随全球需求变化持续扩张

印度水产业出口实现显著增长,从**₹60,000 crore(约72亿美元)提升至₹68,000 crore(约82亿美元),这一数据由联邦国务部长萨蒂亚·帕尔·辛格·巴格尔公布。增长主要归因于在美国**实施关税措施后,印度积极开拓新的国际市场,显示出该行业的韧性以及对印度海产品的强劲全球需求。

那格浦尔举行的2026年第二届国家兽医、乳业与渔业研讨会期间,巴格尔表示,**“在美国实施关税后,我们开始开拓新市场,印度水产品出口增长了25%。”**不过,他并未说明这一增长的具体时间范围。

政府目前设定了一个雄心勃勃的目标,即在未来五年内实现**₹1,00,000 crore(约120亿美元)**的水产品出口。官员们认为,随着国际市场拓展和生产能力提升,这一目标是可以实现的。

据该部长介绍,推动出口增长的主要地区包括安得拉邦泰米尔纳德邦奥迪沙邦拉克沙群岛以及安达曼和尼科巴群岛,这些地区在内陆渔业和海洋渔业方面均发挥着重要作用。

巴格尔强调,渔业、畜牧业和乳业部的高级官员一直在积极开拓新兴市场以促进出口。他再次表示,“在美国关税措施影响下,我们的水产品出口已从约6万亿卢比增长至6.8万亿卢比。”,凸显了该行业在贸易挑战中的适应能力。

他还提到,政府正在实施多项举措以加强渔业、畜牧业和乳业发展,并将其定位为推动农村增长和扩大出口的重要引擎。

出口的持续增长表明,印度正通过市场多元化进行战略转型,在减少对传统市场依赖的同时,把握全球海产品需求增长带来的机遇。
