Need Immediate Action to Protect AP Aqua Farmers
Respected AP Government,
Due to the ongoing global crisis and its impact on the economy, Shrimp farmers are facing severe difficulties. The feed prices has increased drastically, with feed prices rising by approximately ₹10,000 per ton from today, placing a huge financial burden on farmers.
At the same time, when there is a high demand of shrimp and farmers are ready to harvest, prawn prices are being artificially reduced through syndicate business. Farmers have no option but to sell at these low prices because we lack adequate storage facilities and cannot hold the stock for longer periods.
This situation is causing significant losses to farmers and threatening their livelihoods. We humbly request the AP Government to take immediate action by:
Establishing modern cold storage and storage tank facilities for prawn farmers.
Investigating and preventing syndicate business manipulating market prices.
Creating a transparent pricing mechanism to ensure fair prices for farmers.
Providing support measures to offset the rising costs of feed and production.
We request the government to develop a permanent solution that protects farmers from exploitation and ensures the sustainable growth of the aquaculture sector.
We hope the government will consider this issue seriously and take prompt action in the interest of thousands of prawn farmers and their families.

Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.
The news about import duties on gold and silver going up to 15% came late last night. The interesting thing: neither open interest, prices, nor volume in Gold and Silver showed any unusual moves in the hours leading up to the announcement.
If this had happened in the United States, I’m fairly sure some of the people close to the decision-making process would have found a way to trade it, either through regulated futures markets, other derivative contracts, or prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi.
We’ve seen versions of this with crude. And during the Iran conflict, too, there were all these reports and allegations about people around the government trading through futures, contracts, and prediction markets before or around important announcements.
It’s kind of insane how casually people in power seem to monetize privileged information. At some point, this stops looking like “market participation” and starts looking like blatant insider trading with better branding.
Just another reason why Indian markets, despite all their flaws, are far more tightly controlled in these grey zones than many Western markets.
BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.
Sitting in India right now, watching the world burn in real time. US & Israel striking Iran. Iran retaliating across the Gulf. Russia-Ukraine still raging. Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions simmering.
Missiles flying over Tehran, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Qatar.
And here I am, safe at home on a Saturday evening, in a democratic, peaceful country, worrying about none of this at my doorstep.
We don't say this enough - we are incredibly lucky. Not perfect, not without problems. But at peace. That's not a small thing in 2026.
Next year between just Google, Meta & Amazon the capex will more than 10% of the size of India’s entire economy. 🤯🤯
Combined they’ll spend over $500B and I am assuming most of it will be towards cloud and AI. Not even accounting for xAI and OpenAI. Combined that number might be closer to atleast $800B or more.
Doubt any Indian co even has a chance to compete in this space.
