News India Live, Digital Desk: Seafood Exports: Good news has come for India. Australia has approved the import of prawns from India after a wait of 8 years. This decision has come at a time when there is pressure from America to impose tariffs (import duties) on India. This step by Australia has brought great relief to Indian seafood exporters.
Prawns from Andhra Pradesh get green signal
Especially, this is a big achievement for the prawn exporters of Andhra Pradesh. Australia has given permission to resume import of prawns from the state. This ban was imposed in 2010 and now it has been removed after 8 years.
Why is this decision important?
- Relief to exporters: India, especially Andhra Pradesh, is a major exporter of prawns. Re-entering a big market like Australia will provide great relief to exporters and their business will increase.
- trade relations: This decision will further strengthen trade relations between India and Australia.
- Breakdown of US tariffs: After America recently increased the import duty on Indian products, this decision of Australia is being seen as a big relief for India. This signals India’s move towards alternative markets.
What was the reason for the ban?
Earlier, Australia had banned the import of prawns from India, citing the risk of disease in prawns. But now, after various tests and safety measures, Australia has lifted this ban.
New hope for India
This decision of Australia has given new hope to the Indian seafood industry. This is a big opportunity for India to increase its exports and strengthen its hold in new markets.
