In November, 2025, India exported marine products valued at $0.87 billion, an increase of 15% compared to a year ago.

Official sources earlier stated that the exports of marine products declined to $1.06 billion, a decline of over 7% during April-October of FY26 to the United States, the country's biggest export destination because of high tariffs.

This loss in shipment was 'more than compensated' by a rise in shipment to China, Vietnam, Belgium, Japan, Russia, Canada and the United Kingdom, sources said.
