2 India with its vast and varied marine and inland resources stands third in world total fish production and second in inland fish production. India's fish production has increased from 5.6 million tonne during to 6.9 million tonne during During the year , the country witnessed foreign exchange of Rs crore through export of sea food. Fish processing industries in India are gaining importance in recent years due to increase in demand of processed food by the developed countries. There exists vast requirement of sea food and its products in ready to eat form. Increased income, better purchasing power, education and awareness and consciousness towards hygiene and health are some of the reasons for the increased demand of value added products. Sanitation, hygiene and quality assurance of the processed product are the influential factors which decide upon the market price and acceptability of the product. Fish processing industries offer enormous opportunities for employment as the potential for fish production is rising due to technological advancements. Though the share of Indian sea food in world market has grown steadily over the decades till mid 1990s,during the last decade it has been subjected to major challenges such as:stagnant and fluctuating production from both capture and culture fisheries; stringent quality measures and safety standards as well as other non tariff barriers laid down by the developed countries; inadequate and poor post harvest infrastructure in the country; and increasing stiff competition from other sea food exporting countries. In this present scenario trained human resources are required to address and manage the challenges ahead. This course has been specially planned and designed with this back ground to generate a larger pool of skilled human resource with entrepreneurial talent and development orientation. CIFE offers a certificate course on Processing Management and Trade its Kolkata Centre.
