FMPIS - NFDB

Fish Market Price Information System

NFDB is implementing Fish Market Price Information System (FMPIS) as a flagship project for analysing fish price information at fish markets from major cities and towns through a mobile based software application (both Android and iOS ) by collecting the prices of commercially important inland and marine fish species.

Fish Price data collection: The daily fish price information is collected by the designated enumerators from State/UTs from wholesale fish markets/retail fish markets across the country. Fish price information of 138 fish species (95 Marine fishes and 43 inland fishes) are presently captured under FMPIS through its software APP. The APP provides details like Scientific Name, Common Name, picture, length and sizes of fish species. In addition to above taxonomical features of fish species, the vernacular names of fishes in 10 major local languages are also available in the APP for easy understanding by the enumerators for data entry. The marine fish price data pertaining to Fishing Harbours and Fish landing Centres is received offline from NETFISH-MPEDA and integrated with FMPIS online system. Thus, the present market prices of commercially important fishes are made available on a single web platform.

States/ UTs, fish markets, Fishing harbours and Fish Landing Centres covered: Currently FMPIS is capturing data of fish prices from 43 retail fish markets and 40 wholesale fish markets functioning in 24 States and 4 UTs of our Country. NETFISH- MPEDA shares information with respect to 18 fishing harbours and 17 fish landing centres from Coastal States/UT viz., Gujarat, Maharastra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal.

Fish Price Analysis: The fish price of these commercially important fish species are analysed for the trend and demand. The analysed fish price information will be available on this FMPIS website on a real time basis. FMPIS would act as a decision support system regarding price of fish species, price trends, availability and variability of fish across wholesale/retail fish markets, fishing harbours and fish landing centres throughout the Country. It also enables different stakeholders mainly fishers in identifying affordable fish markets /prices and facilitate better marketing efficiency for traders of fish commodity throughout the Country.
