Sourcing shrimp and other seafood from India: 2024 export flows to 15 importer markets

Trade figures are each origin's own 2024 exports as reported to UN Comtrade, retrieved on 25 October 2026 and rounded to US$0.1 million. A market with no row is shown as "no row" — never as zero. HS 080390, 080440 and 080450 include dried fruit; HS 0804 50 also covers guavas and mangosteens. Exporter-reported figures can differ from the importing country's own statistics, and a recorded flow is not confirmation that a consignment will be admitted.

National statistics come from the origin's official bodies and trade associations and are quoted with their own period and units. No exporter, grower, packer or processor is named: our team checks supplier identities, certificates and plant approvals privately for each reviewed request.

Top destinations list up to five of the 15 markets with a 2024 row, highest value first. The last column lists markets with no row for that product — no recorded flow, which is different from zero.

Figures cover all seafood for India's financial year April 2025–March 2026 and are quoted as published.

Exporter identities are checked privately by the Global B2B Group project team for each reviewed RFQ: the exporting legal entity, the packing house or processing plant, current certificate scope and expiry, and your market's entry requirements for this product and origin. This page does not publish a supplier list or confirm current availability.

Seasons are not shown: no dated season source was opened for these lanes.

You do not need to find and contact exporters one by one. The request path works like this:

• You send one structured request: products, varieties or species, the origins you accept, volume per week and season, pack, destination port, arrival weeks and documents.
• A person on our team checks it against the USD 250,000 annual or seasonal programme minimum and against the trade evidence for each origin and product.
• Our team approaches several suitable suppliers with the same questions, without your company name or contact details.
• You receive offers on one basis, each figure labelled as a supplier quote, an estimate or checked, with open points such as certificates still to be confirmed.
• Your identity is shared only when you approve an introduction to a specific supplier. Buyers pay nothing.

• The exporting legal entity and the packing house or processing plant that will handle your product
• Certificate numbers, scope and expiry for every scheme claimed — checked in the scheme's own database
• The entry rules of your market for this product and origin, from that market's authorities
• Variety or species, grade, size or count, pack and labelling
• Weekly volume, shipping weeks, Incoterms® rule and named place, and offer validity
• The declared total annual or seasonal programme value

Our team turns these points into one reviewed request and approaches suitable suppliers on your behalf. Buyers pay nothing; sourcing programmes start from USD 250,000 per year or season, and every requirement is confirmed per shipment rather than assumed.
