It is presented as an annual event.\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Seafood Expo Bharat is a seafood trade show held by MPEDA (the Marine Products Export Development Authority), an agency under India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry. It began in 2025, and both the 2025 and 2026 editions were held in Chennai. The organizer presents it as an annual event.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Basic information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tr><th>Trade Show Name<\/th><td>Seafood Expo Bharat (SEB)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Most recent edition<\/th><td>July 1-3, 2026 (the second edition, following the first in 2025)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Venue<\/th><td>Chennai Trade Centre, Nandambakkam (Chennai)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Organizer<\/th><td>MPEDA (Marine Products Export Development Authority \/ India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Official website<\/th><td><a href=\"https:\/\/seafoodexpobharat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seafoodexpobharat.com<\/a><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Next edition<\/th><td>Dates not announced<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th>Sectors covered<\/th><td>Seafood processing and export, aquaculture, freezing and cold chain, processing equipment, inspection and quality control<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2>What kind of trade show it is<\/h2>\n<p>Because the organizer is the government body responsible for India's seafood exports, the exhibitors are mainly processing and export companies together with suppliers of processing and packaging machinery, freezing equipment, inspection equipment, and logistics. Shrimp accounts for a large share of India's seafood exports, and that tendency comes through in the makeup of the exhibitors.<\/p>\n<p>India has one other international seafood show, the India International Seafood Show (IISS), held by the Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI). The 24th edition in 2025 was held in New Delhi as part of World Food India 2025, with MPEDA taking part by running the buyer meetings.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What Japanese companies can do here<\/h2>\n<p>For companies sourcing shrimp and other seafood from India, it is a place to talk directly with export companies that own processing plants. For trade with Japan, the first things to check are the species and the source area, how the chain from the pond to the plant can be traced, whether the plant is approved for export to Japan, how inspection certificates and temperature records during transport are issued, and the minimum lot.<\/p>\n<p>For companies handling freezing or inspection equipment, you can see where India's processing plants are putting their money now. The standards required differ by export destination, and meeting them leads into discussions about equipment.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What to check before visiting<\/h2>\n<p>The dates for the next edition have not been announced. If you are considering taking part, check MPEDA's notices.<\/p>\n<p>At the stage of narrowing down trading partners, we recommend visiting the processing plant after meeting at the show. Seeing the farm and the plant one after the other shows you where quality is decided.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Related Articles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/india-marketing.jp\/en\/exhibition\/world-seafood-congress-2026\/\">World Seafood Congress | An international conference on fisheries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/india-marketing.jp\/en\/tour\/\">India market visit tour | Four days looking at stores and kitchens<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/india-marketing.jp\/en\/business\/chennai\/\">Chennai market entry guide | The manufacturing hub of South India<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/india-marketing.jp\/en\/exhibition\/\">Trade shows in India<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/seafoodexpobharat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seafood Expo Bharat official website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mpeda.gov.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MPEDA official website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/seai.org.in\/seafood-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEAI\uff5cIndia International Seafood Show<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seafood Expo Bharat is a seafood buyer meeting show started by India's MPEDA in 2025.
