Andhra Pradesh: The Next Big Wave in India’s Blue Economy
Poised to become a global leader in aquaculture, Andhra Pradesh is setting new benchmarks in sustainability and innovation. With shrimp and fish as clean, healthy protein sources, the state is making them more accessible while uplifting coastal communities often vulnerable to natural disasters. Leveraging a 1053 km coastline, abundant water resources, and the transformative P4 model, Andhra Pradesh is on a mission to solidify its position as a key driver of inland fish production, shrimp farming, and seafood exports, creating a prosperous and inclusive future for its fishing communities.
Aquaculture 2.0: Paving the Way for 30% CAGR 2024-29
Through the visionary Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana, the ₹20,050 crore Aquaculture 2.0 initiative will double aquaculture productivity, boost exports to ₹1 lakh crore, and generate 55 lakh jobs by 2029. The state will play a pivotal role in this transformation, focusing on climate-resilient
practices, sustainable coastal aquaculture, and advanced mariculture techniques to lead India’s blue economy revolution.
DeepTech as a Catalyst for Change
Andhra Pradesh will harness cutting-edge technologies like IoT-enabled sensors, drones, and AI-powered tools to revolutionize aquaculture practices.
These innovations will optimize resource management, improve productivity, and elevate the state’s aquaculture sector to global standards, ensuring higher incomes and better livelihoods for farmers.
P4 Model: Building a Sustainable Tomorrow
Andhra Pradesh will adopt the P4 model—Public-Private-People Partnership—as a cornerstone for growth. This approach will drive policy innovation, attract private investments, and empower local communities to take ownership of development. Investments in infrastructure such as brood banks, processing units, and cold storage facilities will
ensure the sector’s long-term resilience and inclusivity.
“As the Chief Patron of GFST, I envision it as a hub for forward-thinking ideas,
transformative collaborations, and groundbreaking DeepTech-driven initiatives. Together, we will harness the power of advanced technologies to shape the future of aquaculture, driving sustainability and prosperity for Andhra Pradesh and India’s fisheries sector.”
