MPEDA opens second second signature stall for seafood products

KOCHI: The Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) has opened its second signature stall at the Cochin International Airport under its ‘seafood India’ project launched ten months ago.

The new stall will sell ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat value-added products from ten exporters. MPEDA chairman K S Srinivas said the signature stall is opened in the airport as a part of MPEDA’s brand promotion campaign for Indian seafood, considering the airport’s importance in the traffic of international tourists as well as non-resident Keralites.

The first stall in Kochi currently displays around 100 value-added products of various companies across India. MPEDA is looking to set up similar signature stalls in other international airports as well, Srinivas added.


The stall exhibits products developed by prominent fisheries research institutions such as CMFRI, CIFT and NIFPHATT besides selling and displaying value-added marine products of exporters.
