This study was conducted to estimate the magnitude of processing waste produced in the
organised shrimp processing sector of India in order to assess the opportunities available
for its utilisation. The estimation of magnitude of shrimp processing waste was based on
secondary data and its management was based on primary data collected through surveys
at processing plants. The organised shrimp processing sector in India generated a large
volume of shrimp processing waste at a growth rate of 12% during 2000-2018. The quantity
of shrimp processing waste generated ranged from 1.2 to 4.6 lakh t, which can be utilised
to produce 6712 to 27453 t of chitin alone. However, our study indicated that 75% of the
total waste generated remained either unused or managed unscientifically, even when there
is huge demand for chitin and its derivatives in the domestic as well as in the international
market. The case studies from chitin producing plants revealed that some costs were
incurred in the procurement of shrimp processing waste as a secondary raw material for the
production of chitin. Thus forming a link between shrimp processing plants and chitin and its
derivatives producing plants would improve the supply of quality raw material and improve
utilisation of processing wastes. The number of chitin and its derivatives producing plants
are too few in India to fully accommodate the large volume of shrimp processing waste
generated every year. Therefore, infrastructure development in the chitin and associated
industry with active support from government organisations to overcome the burden of initial
investment is needed urgently, which can in turn encourage entrepreneurship development
in the sector for diversified applications.
