Abstract: Shrimps farming is playing a pivotal role in the socio economic development of India. The state of Karnataka is the seventh largest shrimp producer amongst the shrimp farming states of India and contributed 8.43 lakh tonnes of produce in 2020-21 (MPEDA annual Report, 2021). The present study was undertaken to ànàlyze the constraints analysis of shrimp farming in Karnataka.This study was conducted purposively in Coastal Karnataka in the year 2021. The study was focused on 120 shrimps farmers, 30 petty dealers, 30 wholesalers and 30 retailers. These samples were selected by a simple random sampling method. The data was collected by a personal interview aided by well-structured and a pre-tested questionnaire consisting of 7 major domains of constraints. Rank Based Quotient (RBQ) technique was employed for the allotment of ranking to various constraints. The findings showed that,constraints such as lack of experience (socio personal constraints), lack of technical guidance (technical constraints), high initial investment (economic constraints), diseases outbreak (environmental constraints), lack of quality standards (management constraints), high fluctuation in price (marketing constraints) were the major constraints for farmers and the perishability of the product was the major constraint for marketing intermediary’s in the study period. The study suggested that the regulating agencies such as Marine Product Export Development Authority (Anon., 2021c ) and developmental departments of government may take appropriate remedial measures to combat the identified constraints for successful shrimp culture in the study area.
