Abstract

The study examines the key success factors underlying Andhra Pradesh's shrimp aquaculture model, India's dominant producing state (82 per cent of 1.08 MMT of shrimp production, MPEDA 2023-24 latest available data) and export hub and assesses the extent to which this model can be replicated in Sirsa district in Haryana, given its distinct inland saline ecology. It compares farmer incomes from shrimp aquaculture with traditional paddy-wheat based cropping systems in saline belts to evaluate relative profitability and livelihood outcomes. The report adopts a comparative, value-chain-based research framework to examine the economic viability, risk exposure, and scalability of inland shrimp aquaculture. It combines an in-depth case study of Sirsa district in Haryana where ISW shrimp farming has expanded rapidly under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) with benchmarking against the case studies of Bhimavaram, Krishna belt in Andhra Pradesh. Using mixed research methods, including farm-level cost and return analysis, risk simulation models, stakeholder consultations, and qualitative farmer case studies, the report analyses the sustainability of the sector to augment farmers' income.
