Naidu Seeks Relief for Aquaculture Farmers Writes Letter to Centre

The article reports a cost-push shock in the Indian aquaculture sector, specifically shrimp farming, due to rising prices of key feed inputs (soy, fish meal, fish oil). The channel is input_cost: feed manufacturers face margin squeeze, while farmers' profitability is threatened. The impact is region-specific (Andhra Pradesh, India) and affects the shrimp supply chain. Direct losers are shrimp farmers and feed producers; winners are raw material suppliers (fish meal/oil producers). The government intervention sought (subsidies, pricing mechanism) could mitigate but not eliminate the squeeze.
