Whitewash Efforts?

Many questions are unanswered still! Why didn't this information come out earlier? The banks should know where the money came from?

Why was Surendran hiding? Why did he use different false addresses in different banks?

Seems crores will be used to buy the freedom for the culprits!!

Decline in sea food exports
KOCHI: After a two-year high, seafood exports from India has shown a decline in the financial year ending March 2002 even as there was significant increase in export to the United States, according to the figures released by the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA).

While the total exports dipped by 3.63 percent in quantity, 7.5 percent in rupee value and 11.5 percent in dollar terms during the period, exports to US increased by 17.47 percent and 22.07 percent in quantity and value respectively, MPEDA said.

During 2001-2002, a total quantity of 424,470 tonnes were exported, valued at Rs 59.57 billion, while during 2000-2001, quantity wise exports touched 440,473 tonnes (28.41%), valued at Rs 64.43 billion (19.12%).

The fall in exports has been attributed mainly to global economic recession and drastic decline in price realisation for the country's prime product-- Black Tiger shrimp in international market.

In value, shrimp continued to be the major foreign exchange earner item followed by frozen fin fish, squid, cuttlefish. In quantity, frozen fish was the leader followed
by shrimp, squid and cuttlefish.

The MPEDA said during the last fianancial year (2001-2002), the US had significantly improved its intake of seafood from India and was getting very close in percentage share to Japan, which is the main market for Indian seafoods.

Along with US, European Union (EU) and South East Asia have also increased their buying, but there was substantial fall in the intake of Indian seafoods by Japan and China.

In value-wise seafood exports, Chennai maintained its first position followed by Kochi and Vishakapatnam. Quantitywise, JNP, Mumbai, maintained its first position followed by Kochi and Chennai.
