Travel and Stay

Andhra Pradesh leads India’s aquaculture industry, contributing over 40% of the nation’s total fish and shrimp production.

The Aqua Capital of India

Bhimavaram, located in the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, rightfully earns its title as the “Aqua Capital of India.” Blessed with fertile deltaic terrain, a dense network of canals, and abundant freshwater, it has been at the forefront of India’s fisheries transformation since the 1970s. Today, it serves as a vibrant centre for shrimp and fish farming, with a legacy rooted in innovation and entrepreneurial energy.

Story of Aquaculture Success in this Region

The aquaculture journey here began with experimental pond farming and rapidly evolved into large-scale, science-driven cultivation of Litopenaeus vannamei (whiteleg shrimp). Bhimavaram and its surrounding areas now account for over 60% of Andhra Pradesh’s aquaculture, with more than 40,000 hectares of farms and over 150,000 stakeholders, including farmers, hatcheries, processors, and traders. This collective drive has positioned the region as a powerhouse of India’s Blue Revolution.

A Model of Aquaculture Excellence

Bhimavaram is widely recognised as one of the most successful aquaculture centres, thanks in large part to the entrepreneurial spirit and dedication of its aqua farmers. The community’s willingness to embrace new techniques and adapt to changing industry trends has set Bhimavaram apart, making it a true leader in the field.

Several factors contribute to the region’s exceptional reputation for aquaculture. Bhimavaram benefits from fertile land and abundant water resources, along with proximity to large natural water bodies that support both freshwater and brackish water farming. The area is also home to a strong support infrastructure, including processing units, ice plants, and a network of local suppliers that help ensure efficient production and export readiness.
