Abstract

This chapter, conceived as a prologue to the overall compilation, provides a comprehensive overview of the nation’s fisheries and aquaculture sector. The overview encompasses India’s global standing in the sector, the demographic and socio-economic profile of the associated workforce, production and trade growth trends, demand-supply and value chain dynamics, and the role of institutions and government in fostering sustainable development. Such a contextual understanding will not only provide valuable insights into the current state and recent developments within the sector but will also facilitate a deeper appreciation of the evolving dynamics and the critical role of technologies and policies in propelling further growth.
