    India Shrimp Culture

    This document discusses intensive shrimp farming in India and its impact on sustainable development. It notes that shrimp farming can provide positive externalities like foreign exchange earnings and poverty alleviation, but can also have negative externalities including irreversible land degradation, threats to food security and health hazards. Andhra Pradesh is a major producer of shrimp in India, accounting for over half of the country's production in 1998-99. However, the intensive farming of shrimp in fertile coastal lands raises questions about whether it promotes private profit at the cost of social and environmental impacts. Intensive shrimp farming by individual farmers could degrade not only their own lands but neighboring fields as well. Sustainable practices are needed to balance land use and development.

    The Problem
    • Whether intensive shrimp farming in
    coastal agricultural fertile land promotes
    the private gains at the cost of society?

    • Whether the myopic behaviour of


    individual intensive shrimp farmer leads
    to degradation of not only his or her own
    coastal agricultural fertile lands but also
    the neighbouring paddy fields?
