Abstract
The goal of the current study was to assess the socioeconomic standing
of the Nellore district's P. vannamei shrimp producers. This study was
carried out in several mandals within the reformed Nellore district in
2024–2025. Age, education, occupation, caste, kind of dwelling, farming
experience, land holding, and income were all examined in relation to the
socioeconomic standing of P. vannamei prawn farmers. Five mandals and
twenty-two villages from Nellore district's twelve mandals were purposefully
chosen for the current study using the proportionate and easy random selection
technique. With the help of a well-structured questionnaire, a sample size of
356 respondents was chosen from the district's designated mandals for the
particular purpose. The majority of P. vannamei shrimp farmers in the
Nellore district were between the ages of 31 and 40 (36.0%), had only one
occupation (61.0%), belonged to the forward cast (40.0%), owned 1-2 acres of
land (50.0%), had RCC-style homes (73.0%), and earned an annual income of Rs.
3.5 lakh (38.0%). The study came to the conclusion that socioeconomic benefits
had been demonstrated by the application of BMPs in the P. vannamei
culture of the study area.
