Description Over the last two decades, shrimp farming has emerged as a major industry in India. The impact of the process has economic, social and environmental dimensions. All of these may have serious implications for sustainability, not only of shrimp farming itself, but of the rural community in the coastal areas of India.
The research aimed to explore the supply chain of frozen shrimp exported to the various retailers across India. Three objectives were set up, that is, (1) to identify the activities conducted by different actors in the supply chain and the corresponding costs and earnings of those activities, (2) to evaluate the distributions of revenue, cost and profit along the chain, and (3) to determine factors preventing shrimp farmers from dealing directly with processing firms. Research findings showed that before exported to the market, shrimp has to undergo farming, procurement, and processing. Shrimp farming basically comprises of such steps as pond cleaning, seed release, and caring. When shrimp attain harvestable size, middlemen come to perform the procurement which includes harvesting, preserving, and transporting. At the processing plants, shrimp are transformed into final products, packed, labelled preserved and stored waiting to be exported. During shrimp farming, farmers incur several costs like seed, feed, labour, and other miscellaneous expenses. At the procurement stage, addition to purchasing shrimp from farmers, middlemen have to add some other costs like transport, labour, ice, and other inputs to transfer shrimp to the next stage. At the processing stage, direct material, direct labour, overhead, and other costs are added in accordance with the accounting format.
