Increased utilization of seaweed as a natural thickening and gelling agent, which is beneficial for the production of cheese, creams, desserts, and other products, is driving its demand. Demand for healthy ingredients in the food and beverage industry is surging. This is driving consumption and preference for plant-based food products among consumers.
In India, there is largescale cultivation of 60 varieties of seaweeds or macroalgae in process, which have multiple commercial applications in medicine, fertilizer, animal feed and food, being a rich source of amino acid and several micronutrients.
Meanwhile, the government has proposed substantial investments for the development of fishing harbours, fish landing centres and promote seaweed farming.
India’s plans are to raise seaweed production from the current level of about 20,000 tonnes, valued at around $500 million (Rs 50 crore) to 11.2 lakh tonnes by 2025.
Speaking at an event earlier, Sundeep Nayak, managing director, National Co-operative Development Corporation, had said that the government is very serious about the promotion of seaweed cultivation as it holds tremendous business potential.
Besides, it has the potential to transform farming along India’s coastal belt and improve livelihood and create jobs.
