 OVERVIEW OF ANDHRA PRADESH

 POPULATION
----

Andhra Pradesh is one of the southern states of the Indian subcontinent.

There are a total of 13 districts in the two regions of Andhra Coast and
Rayalaseema. The capital of the state is the next [Amravati], Hyderabad is the joint
capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for 10 years since June 2, 2014.
Census over the years has grown steadily in terms of population. Shares borders
with states such as Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Telangana and Karnataka. According to the
Indian census (2011), the state has a population of 49,386,799 including 42,442,146
men and 42,138,631 women. Sexual intercourse is well above the national average
in 992 compared to 978 in 2001.

From the Indian census of 2011, the state had a population of 49,386,799 with a
population density of 308 / km2 (800 / sq mi). The total population represents 70.4%
of the rural population with 34.776.389 inhabitants and 29.6% of the urban
population with 14.610.410 inhabitants. Children in the age range 0-6 years are
5,222,384, accounting for 10.6% of the total population, including 2,686,453 and
2,535,931 men are girls. The Visakhapatnam District has the largest urban
population of 47.5% and the Srikakulam district with 83.8%, has the largest rural
population, among other districts of the state. The total population of the state
includes 17.1% of the planned caste and 5.3% of the population of the programmed
tribe.

The population growth rate is 11.10 compared to the 14.59 recorded in the 2001
census. The growth rate of each decade has decreased by 3.49 during the 2001-
2011 period.
  OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

Telugu, Urdu, Hindi, Banjara and English are the main languages spoken in
Andhra Pradesh, followed by Tamil, Kannada, Marathi and Oriya. Also known as
'Tenugu' In the past, Telugu is considered the main and official language of the state.

Being the most spoken Indian language after Hindi and Bengali, Telugu is the
fifteenth among the world's languages in the largest number of speakers. Like many
other languages, Telugu has also been influenced by Sanskrit and includes
Nannaya, Tikkana, Sri Nathudu, Tenali Rama Krishna, Sri Krishna Devarayulu and
many other important poets. It also includes some Canadian and Tamil words that do
not make much money. Numerous Persian and Arabic words also entered the
Telugu language, with the arrival of Muslim rule, but were limited to the spoken
language and the language of the judge and the executor. Urdu, which is considered
the second official language of Andhra Pradesh, reached Deccan at the end of the
15th century. With poets like Mohammed Quli, Mulla Wajhi and Sceikh Ahmed who
contributed to their excellent work, the seventeenth century was known as the
golden age of Urdu.
Indian languages are basically divided into four types of languages, namely:
mon-Khmer, Tibetan, Cuban, and Dravidian. Telugu was born from the Dravidian
family consisting of 24 languages, extending throughout Southern Asia, from
Balochistan to Sri Lanka. Also known as "Oriental Italian" by many admirers, Telugu
is a sweet and pleasant language. In addition to Andhra Pradesh, telugu language is
also spoken in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Orissa, Puducherry and many other countries
around the world.
  ETHNIC GROUP

The Telugu people of the dominant ethnic group in Andhra Pradesh,

representing up to 83.88% (according to the 2001 census) of the total population of
the state. They are native speakers of the Telugu language. Telugu is one of the
official languages of India and the official and administrative language of Andhra
Pradesh.
According to the 2001 census, Tamil speakers formed the third largest
ethnic group in Andhra Pradesh (1.01% of the total population). [1] Tamil speakers
form the native ethnic group of Tamil Nadu, the neighboring state of Andhra
Pradesh.

 NATURAL RESOURCE

The abundance of natural resources (coal, limestone, bauxite and a number of

minor minerals), fertile basins and a vast system of canals, fertile soils, water,
climate and favorable agro are the reason behind Andhra's economic boom Pradesh.
The country's gross domestic product (GSDP) has been estimated at $ 92.2 billion
for 2015-2016. Andhra Pradesh is one of the mineral resource stores with large
chrysotile asbestos, mica, asbestos, barite and limestone deposits in India. It
accounts for about 93% of total barite production in India.
Andhra Pradesh has various geological formations with a rich variety of industrial
minerals and building stones. [9] Other important minerals in the state are minerals
of copper, manganese, mica, coal and limestone. Minerals such as coal, oil and
natural gas, barite, limestone, diamond, bauxite gold beach, clay clay balls,
dolomites, dimensional stones, etc. are still being used or unused. The wide variety
of minerals sold or consumed energy, metals, alloys, cement, chemicals, paints,
cosmetics, glass, ceramics, refractories, refining and manufacturing of various
processing industries.

It has about one-third of the limestone reserves in India and is known for its large
baritine and Galaxy granite fields in the international market.
The main natural resources of the state include rivers, forests and minerals.
Andhra Pradesh has also been blessed with a stretch of more than 1,000 miles of
coastline that supports the rural economy of the state. India enjoys the blessing of 17
small and large rivers crossing different parts of the state. Artificial channels help
distribute water throughout the state. There are several hydroelectric projects
running in the state that are configured to use water resources Krishna and Godavari
rivers. The state has a total forest area of 63,814 km2. It is 23% of the entire
geographic area of the state. The forest is an important source of income for the
peoples of the tribe.
  TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIVITY IN ANDHRAPRADESH:-

 AIRPORTS IN ANDHRA PRADESH

There is a good internal connection in the state through the air. Regional
airlines offer regular air services to the cities of Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, Tirupati
and Vijayawada. For private planes, there are also small airports. Currently,
Hyderabad has the only international airport in the state. It is a fully developed
customs port that has a complex air cargo facility with customs clearance facilities. A
new international airport is approaching Hyderabad. Land acquisition work has
begun for this new airport. The state government also plans to build an international
airport in the city of Visakhapatnam.

Recently, night airports were established at Tirupati Airport. Modernization work

has also recently been reached at the Vijaywada airport, located in Gannavaram.
The cities of Putaparthi, Tirupati and Vijayawada also had Boeing landing facilities.
Between Hyderabad and Singapore, direct flights take place. Hyderabad and the
Middle East are also directly connected. Throughout the state of Andhra Pradesh,
many small landing stations that have essential facilities are available and there are
17 resorts that have airstrips.

 RAILWAYS IN ANDHRA PRADESH

There is a 5055 km rail route in Andhra Pradesh. In order to ensure that the
passage of goods is more fluid, the old 1000-km meter is now becoming an indicator.
Every year, railways run loads of 35 million tonnes. Hyderabad and Sanathnagar
have storage tanks for internal containers that provide clearance clearance. Guntur
has a container inside.
  ROADS IN ANDHRA PRADESH

Among the means of transport available on state roads are the most
important. As Andhra Pradesh has done, an economy oriented to agriculture,
especially road transport, is crucial for the handling of raw materials, agricultural
products and finished products. For a population of 293 km and 0.70 km for one
square kilometre is the density of state roads. In 1956 the road network was 26,762
km, which increased to one, 91,175 km in 2000. State roads are classified into
several categories. The Department of Roads and Buildings of Andhra Pradesh
Government studies the maintenance of the main roads of districts, state roads and
other district streets.

 PORTS IN ANDHRA PRADESH

Andhra Pradesh has its only main port located in Visakhapatnam. In addition
to the main port, Machilipatam and Kakinada have two intermediate doors. The
smaller state ports are in Gangavaram, Krishnapatnam, Mutyalampalem,
Kalingapatnam, Bhavanapadu, Bhimunipatnam, Nizamapatnam, Vodarevu and
Narsapur. The main main port of the country is Visakhapatnam with a capacity of
44.4 millimeters registered in 2000-2001. Andhra Pradesh is third after Gujarat and
Maharashtra in the state port area and manages 9% of the total traffic of 5.3 mmt of
the total of 62.3 mmt (1999-2000). The crown of being the largest small port of the
state belongs to Kakinada which runs 2.77 mmt (1999-2000), while Rawa's door
reached 2.53 mmt.

  OVERVIEW OF FISHERIES INDUSTRY IN
ANDHRAPRADESH

Andhra Pradesh is the fifth largest state in India, demographically and

geographically. Andhra Pradesh has drifted from three great rivers (basin <20,000
km2), including Godavari and Krishna. Andhra Pradesh has a long tradition of
building large dams and tanks. Some of the oldest artificial lakes in the country are in
the state. Hussainsagar in the heart of the city of Hyderabad is 500 years old,
followed by Saroornagar and Mir Alam, which existed respectively for 275 and 170
years. Banjara, Osmansagar and Himayatsagar are the other ancient reservoirs,
created between 50 and 65 years ago. Srivastava et al. (1985) listed 117 tanks, with
their areas in FRL and the rate of fish production. Andhra Pradesh has 98 small
tanks, 2 800 tanks, 32 medium tanks and 7 large reservoirs with a total area of 458
507 ha (Table 5.2). The Vishakhapatnam district has the largest number of tanks
(20).

Fish production in Andhra Pradesh artificial lakes shows a great variety. The
reservoirs of the Nellore district are particularly productive, yields vary from 93 to 142
kg ha-1 in the average category and from 643 to 1,273 kg ha-1 among the small
ones. All types of tanks produce less fish in the districts of Karimnagar, Hyderabad,
Kurnool, Medak and Warrangal (Table 5.1). Production figures are available for 38
small tanks, 28 mediums and 3 large tanks.

Farmers in Andhra Pradesh's coastal area are abandoning traditional farming.

And take aquaculture as a fish to the water. So much so that in the state, the ground
under fresh water and brackish water has multiplied from five to 82,000 hectares
over the last three years.
Aquaculture in Andhra Pradesh is a manifesto for business success.
"Entrepreneurial growers" have cultivated marketed and even exported fish and
prawns in various parts of the country and abroad successfully in recent years.
  Contribution of national GDP

It is evident from the graph of adding the gross value, that the AVG for
shrimp grew much faster than in sea fish. This is a clear indicator that there is a
great margin to increase the total production of fish in the state; It is also important to
note that the export potential of fish and shrimp is very high. The highest growth
rates are expected from domestic fishing and the demand for freshwater fishing
increases. The total area in salty water and fresh water is 1.66 Lac Ha and there are
possibilities for further expansion of 75.575 Ha.
The contribution of the fisheries sector to GSDP has increased by Rs.
10,447 Crores (3.26%) in 2010-11 at Rs. 21,325 Crores in 2014-15 (4.1%). His
participation in GSDP in the agri-food industry also increased from 17.8% to 21.9%.

  LOCAL TAXES AND DUTIES

All mechanized fishing vessels and other fishing vessels shall be applied in
the form IA and all traditional crafts of the countries and motor boats shall require
Form IB to register with the Authorized Officer or notify all Fishery / Fisheries
Commissioner under this Law, in the event that the authorized officer or any
seizure of such vessels / towboats when observed under section 9 of the law.

 GST(GOODS AND SERVICES TAX)

Fishermen, who are already facing difficulties due to various reasons, are
now concerned about the new tax system on goods and services (GST), which will
come into force on 1 July. The fishing community is appalled by the imposition of
GST even in the purchase of dry fish.

The annual steel sea quantum exports to 12,000 crore Rs. And thousands of
fishermen take their livelihoods from fish trade and exports.

Currently, 5% tax is applied to nylon ropes used for fishing. But it will be 18
percent in GST. There will also be taxes on ropes and nets, which will eventually
increase the tax burden on shrimp and fish.

Dry fish also attract 5 percent of GST. The GST burden on the fishing industry in
Visakhapatnam is estimated at Rs 60 crore. Fishermen are now concerned about
GST in the fishing industry. Because there are no cold storage facilities in the harbor,
fishermen have only two alternatives.

Or should discard the fish at all costs to get and dry them for sale as dried fish.
"Now, there is no benefit for drying fish, as the dried fish will attract taxes.
We will be forced to sell fresh fish at any price determined by the market, as there is
no cold storage in the city. The GST burden will have a high cost on our profits, "a
fisherman complained.

Fishermen are looking for the GST exemption. Earlier, they said, they paid a seven
percent tax on one or two freight. The current GST rate implies a further burden.
Therefore, they seek total exemption from the GST.

 SPECIAL BENEFITS

The Andhra Pradesh government has identified the fishing industry as a growth
engine for the social and economic development of the new state of Andhra
Pradesh. The Vision 2029 program promotes the rational exploitation and utilization
of state fishing resources in a manner consistent with the overall objective of
sustainable development. In this context, a comprehensive fisheries policy is
indispensable, and the Andhra Pradesh Government therefore felt it was necessary
to pursue a specific fisheries policy in order to determine the nature and scope of the
current priorities; the role and contribution of the fishing industry in order to meet
these priorities; strength points; potential and limitations of the industry and the
needs to make the industry better respond to current needs on it.

1. The Andhra Pradesh government attaches the highest priority to the development
of fisheries and their involvement in the marine, brackish, inland waterway, dam and
trade in ornamental products in order to increase fish production 42 lakhs over the
next five years. the current level of 19.64 lakes and double the value of exports from
the current level of about Rs.16000 Crores.
2. The government, with the aim of transforming Andhra Pradesh into a fishing
center, presents the 2015-2020 fisheries policy.
3. In the 2015-2020 fisheries policy, the Government has approved the following tax
benefits for the categories of (a) processing units (b) Pond / aquaculture (c)
production / manufacturing units for fishing gear (d) Lab Laboratories / Laboratory
Promotion Labs of Aqua.
4. Insurance Service: appropriate insurance policies will be developed
5. Aquatic crops, boats and nets in consultation with insurance companies.
6. Ease of doing business - Single Desktop System: As far as the processing
industry, ice plants, food production facilities and fishing equipment, naval
shipbuilding, aerator units production, etc. There will be a single desktop system to
give permission through the platform of the Department of Industries.
7. Enabled Committee: Small processing units will be sanctioned by the district
committee headed by the district collector. large units will be sanctioned by the
Committee to direct the Secretary of Government, Zootechnics, Dairy Development
and Fisheries.
8. The government also agreed that assistance to marine fishermen during the
prohibition period would be in accordance with the Tamil Nadu package.
9. Lower Irrigation / Grach Panchayat (G.P.) Tanks are rented for 3 year old
fishermen to the genuine SHG / SHG Fisheries Company / SHG if there are no
fishermen in that village.
10. The detailed political document is attached.
11. The policy will take effect from the date of issue of this order and will remain in
effect for five (5) years or until 31/03/2020.
12. The Commissioner for Fisheries, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad will take the
necessary measures.
13. This places problems with the competition of the Department of Finance.
  SWOT ANALYSIS OF FISHING INDUSTRY IN
ANDHRAPRADESH

STRENGHTS

 Andhra Pradesh is the first place in India to produce saltwater shrimp and
shrimp, second in the production of freshwater fish and fifth in the production
of sea fish and shrimp.
 Approximately 10 tons of fish / shrimp a year are produced.
 The state is contributing about 2 500 million Rs for sea exports, accounting for
almost 40% of Indian maritime exports.
 The fisheries sector provides direct and indirect employment to more than 14
lakes, particularly in rural areas.

WEAKNESSES

The fishing industry has been experiencing serious crises in the last decade due to
its limitations in adapting to the environment in Andhrapradesh.
It is captured in a network of interconnected weaknesses such as
• Lack of funding,
• Lack of storage facilities and quick deliveries of supplies,
• Lack of ice plants,
• lack of knowledge of market information,
• uncertain fish quality,
• defective measurement system,
• lack of market infrastructure,
• imbalance between demand and supply of fish,
• low level of education among fishermen
• lack of availability of another viable alternative employment for them,
• Insufficient income and a relatively high level of spending,
• extremes of time,
• Natural disasters such as floods and bubbles, the tsunami,
• lack of adequate policy measures,
• weak organizational structure of fishermen's cooperatives,
• the failure of the cooperative system,
• lack of means of transport and the like.
Most freshwater fish products are sold in other states of the country. There is a good
fish demand in PA cities, but the retail chain is very weak. Currently, fish are sold in
frozen "high-end shopping centers" that meet the needs of the rich and small sellers
selling fish. highly insensitive conditions. Therefore, there is a great need to promote
the sale of fish in national markets at various levels. In addition, it is necessary to
save fishermen from poverty caused by "emergency sales".

OPPORTUNITIES

There are several aspects related to nature and infrastructure that have supported
the sector's exponential growth in the state over the last few years. These can be
listed as follows
I. Market potential:
The state has great potential for marketing fishery products in urban areas within the
state and other states of India. In India, 60% of the population is not vegetarian and
therefore there is a demand for fish consumption. Currently, the national fish
consumption is 11 Kgs and in AP is estimated at 7.4 Kgs. World fish consumption is
21.0 Kgs. Therefore, there is a big gap in consumption that can be completed by AP
through the promotion of the internal market.
II. Great fishing infrastructure
• The state has 4 fishing ports: Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Nizampatnam and
Krishnapatnam. 1 main port in Visakhapatnam and 14 important ports offering a
great opportunity to export fish products.
• New fishing ports / fishing centers and other 12 post-harvest and market
infrastructures can be established to add value to the product.
• Several modern and wholesale fish markets have been developed, the Fisheries
Development Board and the State Fisheries Department.
• Availability of 56 processing plants with a capacity of 2272 MT / day, 148 ice plants,
45 freezing plants with a capacity of 1 million tonnes per year and 28 cold storage
facilities with 25000 MT capacity and operation with EU / ISO 9000 / HACCP
standards. Highly motivated fish / shrimp fishermen, wide availability of water and
favorable weather conditions.

CHALLENGES

Four different types of challenges have been identified which, if faced, can
accelerate and improve the rate of growth of fishing activities in the state. These can
be classified as follows
I. Sustainability
• excessive fishing capacity which causes excess fishing that results in depletion of
stocks and employment in the maritime sector.
• Except for the prohibition period, fishing activities are carried out almost all year
through unsustainable fishing practices that interfere with fish life cycles in
freshwater bodies.
• Good quality seed production is a big challenge.
II. The lack of access to modern technologies and credits:
• Most boats are small fishing boats and these vessels do not have modern fishing
facilities and information and communication equipment.
• Technology used at various levels of the value chain, from ships to cold chains, is
inadequate and obsolete
• Fishermen have no access to institutional funding and new technologies.
III. Infrastructures and insufficient deficits of qualified personnel
• The post-harvest processing infrastructure in the state is very limited.
• Storage and cold storage services are also limited.
• Insufficient infrastructure, information and communication channels.
• Lack of technical manpower at medium and high levels.
IV. Other.
• Rapid urbanization, mangroves degradation, oil and gas exploration activities
• other long and offshore human activities contributing to pollution, coastal erosion
and the destruction of livelihoods.
• New and emerging diseases in aquaculture and lack of infrastructure to address
disease emergencies
• Unreliable resources and statistics.
• Lack of proper management intervention to increase the fishing capacity of the
tank.
• Imports and illegal introduction of exotic aquaculture species that threaten
biodiversity.
• inadequate development of the internal market.
• Frequent cyclones leading to loss of controls for fishermen sailing in the sea and
damaging aquaculture.

BILATERAL TRADE

Indian exports to Cameroon have grown steadily over the years. However,
India's exports were reduced to $ 249.13 million in 2015-16, recording a 4%
decrease over 2014-2015, amounting to US $ 259.62 million. Imports from India,
however, recorded a quantum leap due to the import of large quantities of crude oil
from Cameroon. Imports from India increased to $ 745.35 million in 2014-15,
recording an increase of 177% compared with $ 268.20 million in 2013-14. Of total
imports, the import of crude oil was US $ 705.0 million.

INDIA COMMUNITY:
There are between 700 and 800 Indian expatriates in Cameroon, who are
mainly engaged in trading and small businesses, apart from some professionals.
While Indians are generally considered, during a political crisis in Cameroon in
February 2008, an Indian production unit in Douala was vandalized. In some trade
disputes, few physical violence incidents have been reported against Indian citizens.

AIR CONNECTIVITY:
There are no direct links to India. The airlines operating in Cameroon are Air
France, Air Gabon, British Airways, Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines. There are
links to many destinations throughout Africa, including regular flights to Benin, Ivory
Coast, Nigeria, South Africa and Togo. In addition to five weekly flights to Paris,
Cameroon is connected by direct flights, once a week, to Brussels and Zurich.
 CONCLUSION
After examining all the macro-level parameters of both counties, India and
Cameroon, and having compared the strengths, weaknesses, taskas and
opportunities, we conclude that there is a significant scope in relation to the
emerging industry activity. fishing. The Indian fishing industry has a giant or
exceptional player and has comparative advantages over the Cameroon fishing
industry. Therefore, it is possible that Indian fishing companies start business or
export to Cameroon to take advantage of international opportunities.
