Indian seafood export a great hit in China as it battles Japan over Taiwan - India Today
India’s seafood industry is experiencing an unexpected export surge as rising political tensions between China and Japan disrupt regional supply chains. The diplomatic row—sparked by Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan and Japan’s claims over the Senkaku Islands—has strained trade flows across East Asia. With Chinese buyers cutting back on Japanese seafood and Japan tightening import channels, global demand is shifting toward alternative suppliers. Indian exporters are benefiting from this sudden gap, receiving increased orders for shrimp, fish products, and processed seafood from markets seeking stable and reliable partners. Industry insiders say the boost has provided relief after months of fluctuating global prices. While the situation remains unpredictable, exporters believe India’s strong reputation, quality standards, and competitive pricing can help sustain this momentum even beyond the ongoing geopolitical dispute. The current opportunity also highlights India’s growing role in global seafood trade during times of regional instability.
