India’s shrimp industry fears heavy U.S. tariffs after export boom slows
U.
India, the world’s second-largest shrimp producer, is facing significant pressure as new U.S. tariffs impose heavy duties on imported Indian shrimp. 
These tariffs come amid rising trade-friction and threaten to erode export margins that have sustained farmers in states such as West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. With many firms reliant on the U.S. market, smaller export units may struggle or shut down. 
The ripple effect could hit employment in coastal regions and weigh on India’s seafood export earnings if tariffs persist.
