Aquaculture and seafood exports contribute to a large portion of Bhimawaram's economy. TÜV SÜD has recently announced that its state-of-the-art seafood testing lab in Vizag obtained the prestigious EIC (Export Inspection Council) accreditation. With this accreditation, TÜV SÜD's Vizag lab can cater to the entire seafood export and aquaculture belt in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa and help them with seamless export to international markets.
One of the biggest challenges faced by seafood exporters across India is to conform to the quality and safety standards of the importing nations. These regulations are dynamic and consistently keep evolving, which can lead to the further complications in the compliance process. TÜV SÜD with its presence across all key seafood import markets in the world, helps exporters with their global knowledge exchange that resonates with the knowledge of local regulations, to help mitigate risks and maximize export profits.
Announcing the Seafood Safety seminar, Dr. Pankaj Jaiminy, Asst. Vice President (Food, Health & Cosmetics) - Testing, Certification & Inspection at TÜV SÜD South Asia said, "Quality testing and certification is one of the most important aspects of seafood exports. There is immense scope for the government, exporters and third party testing partners to collaborate and exchange thoughts, to be able to maximize the contribution of the sector to India's GDP. This seminar is aimed at educating seafood exporters in the region so that they can keep up with the fast-paced regulatory aspects of seafood exports. Our global experts along with local seafood exporters will collaboratively present various up and evolving regulations and processes to the participants. We urge seafood exporters in Bhimawaram and surrounding areas to be a part of this knowledge exchange seminar."
Located in the epicentre of the Godavari delta region, Bhimawaram is one of the principal trade centres of the state of Andhra Pradesh. Along with Vizag and Bhubaneshwar, Bhimawaram holds at the center stage when it comes to India's export of seafood.
Some of the speakers at the seminar will include, Dr. Ron Wacker, Senior Vice President (Food, Health & Beauty) - TÜV SÜD, who will share his views on the quality and regulatory requirements for seafood export to Europe and Mr. David Mathews, Managing Director - M&CO Seafood Trading India, who will address the audience on 'New trends in Seafood Global Market and Requirements of International Buyers'.
