It notes both the positive externalities of shrimp farming such as foreign exchange earnings and poverty alleviation, as well as the negative externalities including irreversibility of land use, food insecurity, health hazards, and human rights violations. The document also presents data on the states with the highest area and production of shrimp farming in India and raises the questions of whether intensive shrimp farming promotes private gains at the cost of society and leads to degradation of coastal agricultural lands.
