A delegation of the European Union (EU) tasked to audit the control systems in place governing the production of exportable fishery products in India is satisfied with the quality of shrimp production. The team, over the past 10 days, visited select seafood-processing facilities in Odisha and Tamil Nadu, two leading exporting states.
