The trade fair started yesterday. Chairman of the marine products export development authority Leena Nair said, It is the first time they have come to such a large exhibition in South Africa to showcase India as the biggest producer of vannamei and a host of other aquaculture products with their land farming of fish. The Spices Board of India took up four of the stalls in the Indian section as its members attempted to grow its markets in Africa.
