Shrimp farming in India is a key component of the Blue Economy, which focuses on sustainable use of ocean and coastal resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and environmental health. It plays a major role in boosting exports, creating coastal employment, and strengthening food security. However, challenges like disease outbreaks, inefficient production, and environmental issues remain. By applying APY (Area, Production, Yield) analysis and modern technologies like machine learning, India can enhance productivity, ensure sustainability, and become a global leader in shrimp aquaculture.
1. Shrimp farming drives India's aquaculture exports and coastal development.
2. APY (Area, Production, Yield) analysis helps identify weak parameters to improve productivity.
3. Use of machine learning and sustainable practices can boost shrimp yield.
4. Opportunities exist for value addition, resilient supply chains, and global leadership in shrimp farming.
