ABOUT US

India being a peninsular country has a far-stretching coastline. It is surrounded by water on the east, west, and south coasts. As a result there is abundant fishing in India. The fisheries industry in India is huge. With its vast coastline, India is the fourth-largest producer of fish in the world. This is mainly because nearly 10 million people residing in more than 4,000 coastal regions are engaged in fishery activity. A substantial part of the sea food is being processed and exported to various countries in Europe, Middle East and APAC region.

Manohar Kumar, the Master-Mind behind Kohinoor Industries, was born in Malpe to a family who has been in the fish trading business since decades. They were procuring various types of fishes from the west coast of India ranging from Goa to Mangalore and supplying it to the sea food processing units located in Udupi and Mangalore. Procurement of the fish from fishermen at a reasonable rate is a critical factor in the viability of the sea food processing unit.

The West coast of India is one of the main sources of sea food wealth in India, as a large number of traditional sea food processing units are operating in the Coastal belt. However, most of the sea food processing units are traditional with out-dated facilities for storing and processing the sea food, resulting in substantial wastage and also a low value addition of the product.

Manohar Kumar the youngest of all in the family has been very adventurous and dynamic, and has a flare for technology. Encouraged by his hold on sea food procurement and increase in demand from the eastern and western countries for the Indian Marine foods, he had always been on the lookout for new and advanced technologies. Simultaneously he had been working towards establishing a modern sea food processing unit with the latest technologies in processing to get the maximum value addition with minimum losses.

Finally, Kohinoor Industries was born on January 18th 2010 based on the EU standards with the state of art technology which is been approved and inspected regularly by EIA (Export Inspection Agency) India, thus exporting fish and fishery products not only to EU countries but also to the rest of the world.
