Evaluating sustainability of the surimi supply chain in India: a life cycle assessment approach

Abstract

Being a primary product for a multitude of processed seafood, the ecological impacts of surimi have been less noted, despite its global supply dominance, especially in India. Life cycle assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental sustainability of existing supply chain by comparing it with two other supply chain alternatives. The ecologically understudied and fragmented nature of the existing Indian surimi supply chain necessitates the authors to highlight the significance of supply chain localizations and the reductions obtained in ecological impacts. The current study will show the direction for developing strategy(s) to improve the environmental sustainability in Indian stance.
