Where do I sell fattened mud crabs and is export demand real?

Fattened mud crabs, especially large meaty males and roe females, have strong demand in domestic seafood markets, hotels and restaurants, and there is real export demand to South East Asian markets where live crab fetches a high price. Export is usually handled through established exporters and agents who manage live transport and packing, so most small farmers sell to these traders or to local high end buyers rather than exporting directly. Price depends heavily on size, condition and whether the crab is meaty or roe bearing, so grading matters. Before scaling, line up buyers, since live crab must be sold quickly and at the right condition. Confirm current demand, prices and any export support through traders, MPEDA and your state Fisheries department.
