00:00This is the biggest export hub in the western zone
00:05In India, the largest export is from the Gujarat-Verawar port
00:12Gujarat's major port is Mangror, Porbandar and Verawar
00:16And Okha is our fishing port
00:18The goods from these four centres come to Verawar for processing
00:23Processing is done in Porbandar and from Mangror to Verawar
00:26Most of the export factories are in Verawar
00:30From 105 units to 107 units
00:33And 12 new units are being made
00:36In the export infrastructure facility, the largest hub is the GIDC area in Verawar city
00:43At present, the work that is being done in export
00:4710% reduction in quantity and value
00:53Because the fishing is slow
00:56The goods that should be exported are not available
01:00There are global markets, Europe, US and China
01:03Major 5% of our cargo goes to China from Verawar
01:07China's situation has worsened after the last corona
01:12People can't give goods, people can't buy
01:17China's effect is increasing
01:23The second part is in Europe
01:25Energy cost has increased due to the last two years of war in Europe
01:29Purchase power has decreased
01:31Let's compare
01:34The items sold for $5 are now sold for $3.5-$4
01:38Overall loss in export sales
01:40The reason for this is energy cost
01:43People can't buy
01:45The rest of the world is doing the same
01:48The world is weak, the US is also weak
01:51People can't afford to buy food
01:57Purchase power has decreased
01:59People can buy alternative, cheaper goods
02:03If we look at the overall technology
02:06We have machines from Europe, Japan and China
02:11We are doing import machinery
02:13In India, we are using domestic machinery
02:24We are importing
02:26In the last 5-7 years, we are using Indian products
02:31From Gujarat, our highest is lobster
02:36Pomfret
02:38Kingfish and other high value items
02:41Their demand is high in the foreign market
02:44Pomfret is a local demand item
02:48It is in export
02:50China was a major importer of Pomfret
02:54Right?
02:55Pomfret is now exported to the US, Middle East
02:59Pomfret is exported to Saudi, Qatar and the UAE
03:02In India, the demand is so high
03:05Domestic price has increased compared to export
03:10Domestic market has grown
03:13Consumption has increased
03:16Purchasing power has increased
03:18If you look at the GST figure
03:20In the last 2 years, the GST collection has increased every month
03:26This means that our economy is moving in a good direction
03:30GST has increased due to production
03:33Purchasing power has increased
03:36People are spending more
03:41People are spending more in India than in foreign countries
03:46Seafood is a small sector in export
03:51But after the arrival of aquaculture
03:53From the 15-20 or 25 thousand crore industry
03:57We are exporting 66-67 thousand crore
04:01Our major aquaculture is 45 thousand crore
04:06The rest is in the seacoat
04:08In the seacoat, the western zones are Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala
04:13In these 5 states, the coastal area is dependent on the seacoat
04:19The front part is West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra and Tamil Nadu
04:23All these are in aquaculture
04:24There is a lot of activity in aquaculture
04:27Major export and high value items are increasing in this quantity
04:31Normally, the seacoat resources are decreasing
04:34Aquaculture is increasing
04:36If we compare, the total export of aquaculture has increased by 5-13%
04:45The rest is in the seacoat
04:48The target set by the government
04:50In 2022, we had a target of 8 billion
04:53This target was fulfilled
04:56After that, it decreased a little in 2024-25
05:01Due to the war situation in the world, it is taking time for the goods to reach
05:08The cargo is returning from the Middle East to Europe and the US
05:13The cargo that reached 30-35 days ago, it took 55-60 days
05:18The turnover period has increased
05:20Due to this, the cycle of regular finance has increased
05:25The buyers of goods from Europe, China and the US
05:32The goods are in the sea, but they don't have the goods themselves
05:36The period has increased due to the increase in the finance
05:38This sector also has an effect
05:41Due to the increase in the finance, the overall price has decreased
