Seafood exporters rebound after a 50% US tariff as India records record FY26 shipments

Seafood exporters rebound after a 50% US tariff as India records record FY26 shipments

India’s seafood sector is turning tariff shock into momentum. After the US slapped a cumulative 50% tariff on Indian seafood last year—citing trade imbalance, anti-dumping claims, and links to energy purchases from Russia—exports were disrupted and some processing units had to pause. Instead of breaking, the sector diversified markets, boosted domestic demand measures, and restored access to high-value buyers. By FY26, India logged record exports, and the government is now considering a production-linked incentive scheme for deeper value-added growth.
