With the seafood exports badly hit following the announcement of tariff hike by the U.S., shrimp farmers have diverted the produce to the domestic markets.

Huge quantity of shrimp and other seafood products were seen in the markets on Sunday. At some places, aqua farmers were seen selling the produce directly to avoid losses.

In some districts, farmers reportedly sold the stocks to middlemen, who in turn sold them in the local markets at a lesser price.

“The price of 80-count shrimp is sold at prices ranging between ₹180 and ₹200 per kg, while the 60-70 count variety is fetching between ₹225 and ₹250 in the market,” said K. Srivalli, a consumer who visited the fish market in Vijayawada.

“As exports to the U.S. have stopped, there has been a fall in prices for the last three days with a cascading effect in the local markets as well,” said Adinarayana, a vendor.

Traders were seen selling prawns, crabs and other seafood varieties, which arrived from different places, in the local markets at low prices. Similar situation prevailed in Eluru, Bhimavaram, Narsapuram, Machilipatnam, Avanigadda and other places.

“I raised Vannamei in about four acres and I am ready to harvest the crop. But due to the rise in duty, exports from Andhra Pradesh are badly hit and the prices declined causing huge losses,” said a farmer, Srikanth, of Eluru district.

“We cannot store the produce for a long time. But due to the developments in the international market, exports have been stoppped, creating panic among the farmers and the exporters in the State,” said an export agent.

Trump’s 25% tariff likely to hit seafood exports from Andhra Pradesh

Aqua farmers have to bear 35% tariff, including 25% tariff, 5.77% countervailing duty and 3.96% anti-dumping duty from August 7, says Seafood Exporters Association of India

With U.S. President Donald Trump announcing a 25% tariff on Indian products, the aquaculture sector in Andhra Pradesh is likely to be severely affected, causing significant losses to shrimp farmers whose produces are exported.

The revised tariff imposed by the Trump administration will come into effect on August 7.

 

Aquaculture farmers in Andhra Pradesh who are exporting their produce to the U.S.A. have to bear about 35% tariff, including 25% tariff, 5.77% countervailing duty and 3.96% anti-dumping duty from August 7, says the Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI) members.

Approximately 6.5 lakh aquaculture farmers cultivate shrimp, crab, fish, and other varieties in 5.7 lakh acres in Andhra Pradesh. Nearly 50 lakh persons are employed in the aqua sector, including in ponds, laboratories, export companies, processing and packing units, hatcheries, feed companies, ice factories and cold storage units.

During the 2023-24 financial year, India exported 17,81,602 metric tonnes of seafood worth $7.38 Billion (₹60,523.89 crore). The contribution of Andhra Pradesh was 9.52% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), worth around ₹19,428 crore, said Joint Director (Aquaculture) Shaik Lal Mohammad.

“India is exporting shrimp, frozen fish, frozen squid, cuttle fish, lobster, crabs and other products to more than 120 countries,” said Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) officials.

The U.S. is the major importer of Indian seafood with a share of 34.53% in terms of US$, followed by China (18.76%), Thailand (7.77%), Vietnam (7.41%) and Japan (6.06%).

Andhra Pradesh State Aquaculture Development Authority (APSADA) Vice-Chairman Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy on Tuesday told The Hindu that the government was making efforts to prevent losses to aqua farmers in the State.

Farmers said the aqua sector in A.P. was facing a severe crisis after the U.S. announced 26% reciprocal tariff in April this year. As the price of shrimp had fallen in the international market, many farmers announced crop holiday, the producers said.

“We are not in a position to continue aquaculture by paying a 35% tariff to the U.S., which is the major importer of our produce. The Central government should take measures to save the sector in Andhra Pradesh,” said A. Veerraju, an aquaculture farmer from Kaikalur in Eluru district.
