International seafood fair in Kochi
Kochi:
Hundreds of foreign delegates are participating
in the three-day long India International Seafood
Show (IISS) here. The biennial show provides a common
platform for processors, exporters and importers of
seafood, aquaculturists, seafood processing machinery
manufacturers and representatives of seafood and allied
industries. The show has been organised by the Marine
Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) in association
with the Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI).
"The very objective of organising the event is to
bring Indian seafood processors and overseas buyers
under one roof. This will enable them to explore opportunities
for mutual benefits," said MPEDA Chairman G Mohan
Kumar. According to MPEDA Director Marketing Kuruvilla
Thomas, this year nearly 600 delegates from more than
15 countries are participating in the fair. "The number
of foreign delegates and exhibitors participating
in the fair is much higher than earlier years," Thomas
said. As part of the fair, an exhibition of a wide
variety of seafood products and machineries has been
put on display. The service organizations and a number
of institutes from the fisheries are also participating
in the exhibition. The fair will conclude on Sunday.
The first show was held in 1973 at Mumbai, and shows
have also been held in Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi,
Visakhapatnam, Goa and Kolkata.
