US Tariffs Threaten Livelihoods in Mumbai's Prawn Industry

Mumbai: The 50% heavy tariff imposed by the US on Indian seafood has put the prawn industry at Mumbai's Sassoon Dock in deep crisis. This industry, which has sustained countless families for decades, is now facing an uncertain future. Exporters and fishermen fear that this decision could bring the entire business to a standstill. The burden of the tariffs will ultimately fall on the fishermen and the women who peel prawns, potentially leading to a loss of their income and widespread unemployment.
