I am happy to note that National Centre for Sustainable Aquaculture (NaCSA) is launching an e-commerce platform "e-Santa". This platform offers opportunity for the registered society farmers of NaCSA to sell their shrimp directly to the registered seafood exporters by avoiding intermediaries. This platform will enable the shrimp farmers to realize better income for their produce. At the same time, the exporters shall have the advantage of getting quality shrimp complying with traceability and food safety norms.

I hope that the society farmers and seafood exporters make best use of the e-Santa platform. I congratulate the CEO and other officials of NaCSA for taking this initiative and convey my best wishes to all the stakeholders who are going to use the platform.
