Export volume also increased, hitting 216,350 tonnes, reflecting resilience and determination in the fisheries sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry Praised for Growth Amid Challenges<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Pakistan Fisheries Exporters Association (PFEA) commended local fishermen and seafood processors for their dedication. Despite rising operational costs and infrastructure limitations, their efforts have kept the industry on a positive trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>However, industry leaders warn that the sector is still facing several key challenges that could limit long-term growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ongoing Challenges for Exporters<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the biggest problems is the shortage of raw seafood material, which means many processing units are running below capacity. This affects both the quantity and quality of exports.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, restricted access to key global markets like the European Union and the United States is a major barrier. Trade limitations prevent Pakistani exporters from earning higher profits and reaching full export potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PFEA Calls for Sustainable Fishing and Market Access<\/strong><br \/>\nTo ensure steady growth, the PFEA is urging the government to:<\/p>\n<p>Implement sustainable fishing practices to protect marine life.<\/p>\n<p>Improve diplomatic relations to reopen restricted international markets.<\/p>\n<p>Provide infrastructure and policy support for modernizing the seafood supply chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Future Potential for the Seafood Sector<\/strong><br \/>\nExperts believe that with the right government support, Pakistan\u2019s seafood industry could bring in even greater revenues and generate more employment opportunities, especially in coastal communities.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s performance shows strong potential, but strategic action is required to turn short-term success into long-term progress.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s seafood exports rise 13.4% to $465 million in 11 months.
