Back to the good old days!
I am writing on this blog after the lapse of more than 3 years. Many things have changed from then to now. Country situation have changed dramatically, economy is overcoming a period of global recession and there are a lot of changes with regard to the seafood industry as well.
Couple of months back we witnessed the end to the seperatist war which ran for more than 2 dacades. The coastal belt in the N&E which was not open for fishing for many years have now been open again for the local fishermen.
The N&E breeding grounds which have not been fished for nearly 2 decades would be full of resources, and Sri Lankan fishermen can be sure of getting a good income for their living in the comming months.
Eventhough fishing restrictions in the N&E have been taken off, still the A9 is not fully open. Thus we still have a problem in getting the fish catch down to Colombo. But we can be assured that it would not be long for us to see huge seafood quantities arriving in Colombo from N&E as soon as the A9 is open.
Also in the last couple of years the trend in Sri Lankan seafood exports also have changed drastically. Initially Sri Lanka exported large volumes of Shrimps. Now with the global demand shifting towards Tuna, Sri Lankan too have ventured into tuna exports.
There are quite a few processing factory owners currently who have mastered the art of tuna exports to EU countries in the last couple of years. And there are many more who are catching up the art of tuna loining very fast. Thus we see a very good trend in the development of tuna exports in Sri Lanka.
