The imposition of US tariffs has severely affected the shrimp export sector in India, especially in Andhra Pradesh, where losses have been estimated at ₹25,000 crore. Many shrimp exporters have reported a 50% cancellation of orders as they pivot to new markets like China. The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Naidu, has called for immediate support from the central government, including a loan moratorium and GST waivers for affected aqua farmers. Similar concerns are echoed in Kerala, where authorities warn of potential losses between ₹2,500 to ₹4,500 crore, threatening traditional industries. As the situation escalates, Indian seafood exporters are scrambling to adapt amidst significant declines in exports and increased operational challenges.
