Seafood processing & export QA
MPEDA linked
- Remote
- Varies
- Qualification
- Typically B.Sc Fisheries.
What the work involves
Day to day
Quality and compliance in seafood processing for export - cold chain control, contaminant and antibiotic residue testing, hygiene standards, and the certification and documentation importing countries demand.
Who this suits
Fit
Fisheries and food technology graduates in coastal states. Seafood is a substantial Indian export, buyers enforce strict standards, and that makes qualified quality staff genuinely valuable rather than a formality.
The honest reality
Read this one
Working conditions are cold, wet and demanding. A single rejected consignment is expensive and the blame arrives at quality. Importing country standards change and can shut a market with little notice, taking jobs with them. Employment is concentrated in coastal processing clusters, so relocation is usually part of the deal.
