Qatar has lifted its temporary ban on the import of frozen seafood from
India, paving the way for enhanced exports to the Gulf nation, officials
said on Friday.
The ban was imposed in November last
year, just ahead of the FIFA World Cup following alleged detection of
Vibrio cholera from a few consignments from India.
The Qatari
authorities had informed India that the ban was temporary and owing to
lack of sufficient testing laboratories in their country in the run-up
to the football event.
The Union Department of Commerce, along
with the Indian Embassy in Qatar had since been making constant efforts
to resolve the issue.
Several rounds of discussion with Qatar's
Ministry of Public Health had been held, leading to the February 16
notification lifting the ban.
This week is proving to be very
good for the seafood exporters in India, considering a similar lift in
the suspension by China," Marine Products Export Development Authority
(MPEDA) Chairman D.V. Swamy said.
On February 14, Beijing lifted
suspension of 99 Indian seafood-processing exporters after acknowledging
India's assurance over source control.
The MPEDA, along with
other agencies, had played a crucial role in getting lifting Beijing's
suspension of a total of 110 units since December 2020.
