Benefitted with a coastline of over 8,118 kms, and 2.02 million sq. km of EEZ (exclusive economic zone), India has perceived a spurring growth in the seafood business dynamics. With the increasing demand and consumption of seafood, the seafood industry has become one of the world’s fastest growing sectors. In 2017-18, India’s seafood exports have seen a growth of 13 percent in quantity and 10.1 percent in value. Researchers have predicted that in 2019, India’s seafood exports will grow at 17-18 percent, which is quite veracious with the continued demand. Wiser Foods, a young but juggernaut company in the import and distribution of frozen seafood products in the Indian and UK markets, enchases this opportunity by meeting the growing demand of seafood through its scrumptious quality frozen seafood.An Unparalleled Success Journey
