India being a peninsular country has a far-stretching coastline. It is surrounded by water on the east, west, and south coasts. As a result there is abundant fishing in India. The fisheries industry in India is huge. With its vast coastline, India is the fourth-largest producer of fish in the world. This is mainly because nearly 10 million people residing in more than 4,000 coastal regions are engaged in fishery activity. These people are mainly dependent on fisheries to earn a living.

India holds great potential for both inland and marine fishing. It has huge reservoirs for fishing. The fisheries industry heavily contributes to the Gross Domestic Product of India. The fisheries industry is responsible for filling the Indian exchequer with about $70 million per annum. Massive production and export has made the fisheries sector an essential part of the Indian economy.

Though the fishing industry in India contributes heavily to the GDP and is a valuable source of earning foreign currency for the country, it still has a huge potential for export. Out of the total area available for fisheries, a significant amount of area is left unutilized.

In the recent past, the fisheries industry has been growing considerably on a consistent basis. It has also caught the attention of foreign investors. Several foreign investors are now investing in the fisheries industry in India for its potential to offer them immense returns. Another reason for the foreign investors to invest in the industry is the easy availability of infrastructure facilities. The liberalized policy of the government is another vital factor for the fisheries industry to attract new foreign investments in India.

Both the central government of India and the state governments have undertaken initiatives and announced several policies to boost the growth of the fisheries industry in India.

The Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying, and Fisheries is the main authoritative body for development of the fisheries industry in India. This government body has been responsible for implementing infrastructure development programs and welfare-oriented schemes. It is also responsible for formulating appropriate programs to increase the productivity in the fisheries sector. Furthermore, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries is another agency that is responsible for the overall growth of the fisheries industry.

Though the central ministry takes active initiatives to boost the fisheries industry, it is mainly governed by the state governments. Each state has its own set of policies to attract new investments in the fisheries industry of the state.

Some of the most prominent states and union territories that promise huge potentials for investments include:

Goa: The state has a coastline of about 100 km and is rich in marine wealth. Fisheries are the main economic activity of the state. The fishing activity has given a big boost to the canning, freezing, and fish processing industries in the state. These industries offer great investment opportunities.

Kerala: The government of Kerala gives top priority to the fisheries sector. The sector contributes the most to the state governments revenue and brings in foreign exchange. The government is keen to develop this industry further. There are huge investment opportunities for investors in terms of providing technological assistance to the local fishermen, providing storage facilities, fish packaging, and so on.

Apart from these two states, prominent other states and union territories, such as Assam, Orissa, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Lakshadweep also promise great investment opportunities in the fisheries industry.

Chemical Industry is one of the fastest growing Industries globally. Demand in different segments of chemical Industry like pharmaceuticals, Inorganic Chemicals, Organic Chemicals, Fine and specialties, Bulk Drugs, Agrochemicals, and Paints and Dyes are also increasing rapidly. Industry players are following state of the art techniques and extensive research and development policies to fulfill this increasing demand for chemical.

Chemical Industry and India

India was importing chemicals during early 1990s, but now India has become a net exporter of chemicals because of implementation of several large scale petrochemical plants, and tremendous growth of exports in sectors like bulk drugs and pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and dyes and intermediates.

Currently India is a strong player in chemicals export. Following are some facts related to Chemical Industry in India (Analysis based on Year 2005):

13% of total export
13% of total industrial output and 7% of GDP
10%-12% growth rate annually
2% of global chemical industry
Indian pharmaceuticals industry ranks 4th in volume and 13th in terms of value in world
2nd largest producer of agrochemicals in Asia

Factors Affecting Indian Chemical Industry

There are few factors resulting growth of Indian Chemical Industry. Some important factors are as following:

1. Friendly Government Policies: In recent years government policies have become more and more industry friendly, following the similar global industry friendly trend. Government is eager to provide land and basic infrastructure for new industry establishments, because industries are powerful elements in contributing rapid growth of development.

2. Increasing Demand: There is increase in demand of chemicals globally, be it pharmaceutical, agrochemicals, adhesives, fertilizers, or other chemicals. So industry players are trying to increase their current production to match increasing demand.

3. Technology factors: The change in technology is also a factor in development of chemical industry. Newer machinery, better technology, and research are major cause behind growth rate of this industry.

4. Involvement of major players: Involvement of major industry players in chemical industry, as well as acquisition of overseas companies by Indian Giants led strong worldwide reputation of Indian chemical manufacturers.

5. Presence of raw materials: India is rich in minerals and other raw materials required in production of chemicals that decreases input capital required and increases overall revenues of manufacturers.

In coming years industry is going to grow with more than current growth rate. In 2005 its contribution to GDP was 7%, which increased to 13% in year 2007. Domestic demand is also increasing so we don’t need to look for exports always. Past few years witnessed tremendous growth and we can expect similar trends in future too.

The textile industry is one of the most important sectors of Pakistan. It contributes significantly to the country’s GDP, exports as well as employment. It is, in fact, the backbone of the Pakistani economy.

Emerging Markets Direct (EMD) released their latest Malaysia Electricity Industry Report. The electricity, gas and water industry in Malaysia contributed approximately RM17.71 billion (2.61%) to the country’s total GDP in 2009. Over the years, the annual growth rate of Malaysia electricity generation has declined. Electricity generation achieved the lowest growth rate (since 1990) at 0.99%, whereby the annual growth rate of electricity generation was averaged at 10.3% in the 1990s.

Malaysia electricity market was affected by the global economic downturn and thus a slowdown in the domestic market activity particularly in the first six months of 2009. In this regard, total electricity sales saw a decrease of 1.35% in 2009. Talking about electric generation capacity, Malaysia had a capacity of 21,817MW, which marked an increase of 10.6% as compared with 2008. The electricity generation in the Peninsular Malaysia was approximately 89.53% of the country’s total electricity generation in 2008. Sarawak and Sabah, the minority electricity generators, accounted for 6.06% and 4.41 % of the total electricity generation respectively.

High reserve margins incur high maintenance costs. The Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications was expecting reserve margins in Peninsular Malaysia to be reduced gradually from 40% to 20%. According to the Economic Planning Unit of Malaysia, the reserve margins for Peninsular Malaysia was estimated at 25.4%, Sabah at 37.2% and Sarawak at 24.5%, which should all meet the expected increase in demand. Our analyst thinks that, the generation reserve margin will be at a very prudent level by 2016.

Owing to the escalating gas and coal prices, the Malaysian government announced the restructuring of electricity tariff in which less than half of the domestic households would be affected by the new tariffs as long as they maintain their usage rates. In less than one year time, the Malaysian government revised the tariff plan again to reflect the changes in fuel prices and support the government’s efforts to introduce economic stimulus package.

What are the trends and developments of Malaysia Electricity Industry? How does the five-fuel policy affect the power generation mix of Malaysia? What are the on-going Hydroelectricity power development projects? How does the government encourage the use of renewable energy in power generation?

As large of an employer as it is, chances are that you already know somebody who works in the Australian packaging industry. Indeed, it is a reasonably sized industry that exerts a massive amount of influence over our daily lives. From recycling to protecting the food that we purchase, packaging is essential.

The Packaging Industry: Value And Employment –

Numbers are among the very best ways to get an idea about the size of something. Consider this: The Australian packaging industry accounts for approximately 1% of the country’s GDP, or Gross Domestic Product. That may sound small, but Australia is a massive country with a very high volume of output. Combine that fact with the fact that approximately 30,000 people are employed by the Australian packaging industry, and it’s easy to see why this industry is so important.

Material Statistics Related To The Packaging Industry –

At 36%, paper and cardboard packaging definitely corner the market when it comes to packaging materials. A simple glance in your pantry or refrigerator will confirm to you that this is the case. However, plastics have reached 30% – a very respectable figure that is easy to confirm, what with the popularity of plastic packaging these days. At 20%, metal packaging has diminished a bit but is still fairly common. Finally, as glass is the most breakable and least practical material, it only accounts for 10% of the total packaging that today is used in Australia.

Recycling And The Packaging Industry –

Considering that the packaging industry only contributes about 10% of urban solid waste, it is remarkable that the industry has, nonetheless, agreed to a National Packaging Covenant that will increase the levels at which it recycles various materials. For example: Plastics, which are currently recycled at a rate of approximately 20%, will now be recycled approximately 30% to 35% of the time. Paper and cardboard, which are currently recycled at a rate of approximately 64%, will now be recycled at a rate of approximately 70% to 80%.

Packaging: An Industry To Watch –

Whether you work in the packaging industry or not, there’s no question that it plays a major role in your life. From the food you buy at the store to the recycling that you do, packaging plays a role in many aspects of your day to day life. As time goes by, the industry itself will be amping up its recycling efforts and will be contributing to the health of the planet. For this reason, consumers can now feel more comfortable about the products that they purchase and can be assured that the food packaging industry is continuously working towards making the world a better place.
