India is one of the leading seafood exporters to the global market and is currently exporting fish products to 123 countries. The country exported seafood worth US $7.76 billion during the last financial year.

The Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, is launching the first edition of Seafood Expo Bharat (SEB) at the Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, from 01 to 03 July 2025 to showcase India's aquaculture and seafood processing capabilities.

The Expo will feature exhibition stalls, a Reverse Buyer Seller Meet (RBSM), tasting sessions, technical sessions, and visits to seafood processing plants and aqua farms. Further, the Expo will serve as a comprehensive platform for various stakeholders in the sector, including hatchery operators, feed mill operators, aqua farmers, aquaculture machinery manufacturers, fishers, processors, processing machinery manufacturers, trading agents, technical experts, exporters, and others. 

MPEDA will be supporting the participating importers by facilitating their travel arrangements. It will reimburse the fare for a return economy-class air ticket for the shortest route (with a maximum limit of USD 2,000) and will also arrange accommodation near the venue and extend other local hospitality during the event days. MPEDA will also support the participating importers’ visits to processing plants and aqua farms in India.
