    Solution

    The Marine Products Exports Development Authority (MPEDA) has developed a certification scheme for aquaculture products called ‘Shaphari’, a Sanksrit word that means superior quality of fishery products suitable for human consumption. The Shaphari scheme is based on the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization’s technical guidelines on aquaculture certification and will have two components- certifying hatcheries for the quality of their seeds and, separately, approving shrimp farms that adopt the requisite good practices. Frozen shrimp is India’s largest exported seafood item.
