Govt plans shrimp rebranding to target domestic consumers
Vijayawada: In a proactive move to protect state's vital aqua sector, the state govt is planning a major rebranding campaign for shrimp-based products to increase domestic consumption and reduce reliance on exports — especially to the United States, which recently announced a 25% tariff on Indian seafood imports. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Shrimp, the crown jewel of AP's aqua exports, faces an uncertain future with the impending US tariff. With the state contributing significantly to India's shrimp production and export volume, the policy shift from Washington has triggered a strategic rethink. Financial expert C Kutumba Rao, who is also the vice-chairman of Swarnandhra P4 initiative, said the tariff announcement served as a wake-up call. "Our dependency on a single export market has become a risk. This is the right time to pivot. By increasing local consumption of shrimp through branding and awareness, we can safeguard the livelihood of lakhs of aqua farmers," he said. The state's long-term plan aims to promote locally produced shrimp and related seafood through special branding, marketing campaigns, and awareness drives about the health benefits of regular seafood consumption. The fisheries dept, along with industry leaders and export agencies, will spearhead this effort. Experts believe that even a modest 1-2% rise in domestic shrimp consumption could help the aqua sector survive, even if the US reduces imports by 40%. The new strategy borrows inspiration from the National Egg Coordination Committee's earlier success, which transformed eggs into a household staple across India through clever branding and public outreach. "The success of the egg campaign shows that Indian consumers respond well to health-driven food branding. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Shrimp has similar potential — it is rich in protein, easy to cook, and affordable. We want to see it on more Indian plates," added Rao. The branding campaign is expected to be launched in the coming months with recipe promotions, seafood festivals, nutritional campaigns, and inclusion of shrimp-based dishes in public meal programs and hotels.

US sanctions 6 Indian companies for trade in Iran petroleum products
The Trump administration has sanctioned six Indian companies for their "significant" sales and purchases of Iranian-origin petrochemical products. "The Iranian regime continues to fuel conflict in Middle East to fund its destabilising activities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Today, the US is taking action to stem the flow of revenue that the regime uses to support terrorism abroad, as well as to oppress its own people," the department of state said Wednesday, as it announced imposing sanctions on 20 global entities engaged in Iranian petroleum, petroleum products or petrochemical trade. The state department said multiple companies in India, the UAE, Turkiye and Indonesia are being designated for their significant sales and purchases of Iranian-origin petrochemical products. As President Donald Trump has said, "any country or person who chooses to purchase Iranian oil or petrochemicals exposes themselves to the risk of US sanctions and will not be allowed to conduct business with the United States", it said. Targeting Iran's petrochemical trade, the US designated 13 entities across multiple jurisdictions which have engaged in the transhipment, sale, and purchase of Iranian-origin petrochemicals. While there was no official reaction to the US announcement by India, the Iranian embassy here in New Delhi said the US continues to weaponise the economy and use sanctions as tools to dictate its will on independent nations such as Iran and India, and impede their growth and development. "These coercive discriminatory actions violate the principles of international law and national sovereignty, representing a modern form of economic imperialism. Resisting such policies is a stand for a more powerful emerging non Western-led multilateral world order and a stronger Global South," it said.
