CIM launches e-marketplace for aquaculture

Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal launched e-SANTA or Electronic Solution for Augmenting NaCSA farmers’ Trade in Aquaculture, an e-marketplace to connect aqua farmers and the buyers. The app will enable the former to get a better price and the exporters to directly procure quality products from them.
National Centre for Sustainable Aquaculture (NaCSA) is an extension arm of Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), under the department of commerce. At the launch event, the minister said that the platform will transform the traditional ways of carrying out business on word-of-mouth basis and make the system more formal and legally binding.
