India seeks global ecolabel for Lakshadweep tuna to boost exports and support sustainable fishing.
The Indian government is pursuing global ecolabel certification for Lakshadweep’s tuna fisheries, which use sustainable pole-and-line and hand-line methods, to boost exports and access premium international markets.
Officials highlight that certification, supported by improved traceability and modern post-harvest technologies like cold chains, could increase incomes for artisanal fishers and protect traditional livelihoods.
The initiative includes expanding seaweed and ornamental fisheries, especially for women and community enterprises, with Lakshadweep’s large lagoon seen as ideal for seaweed cultivation.
Efforts are underway to develop legal frameworks for sustainable fishing in India’s Exclusive Economic Zone and beyond, involving multiple agencies and stakeholders.
