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.
