As we had reported earlier, Andhra Pradesh IT Minister, Nara Lokesh is currently in Australia. He is exploring multiple investment opportunities and business ventures that can be brought to Andhra Pradesh.
In this connection, Lokesh has found a big relief to the otherwise struggling Andhra Pradesh seafood industry which took a beating due to Trump tariffs in the U.S.
Notably, a long-standing hurdle for Indian seafood exporters has been Australia’s restrictions on unpeeled prawns due to white spot virus detection. Lokesh has now communicated that a solution has been found to this matter.
Today, the first import approval for Indian prawns has been granted. This is to be considered as a pretty big and positive reinforcement to the Indian seafood industry. This would also come as a blessing
