Direct Prawn Sourcing from Bhimavaram

Three local partners from farming families, connecting overseas buyers straight to the ponds.

We are three partners born and raised in Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh, where India's shrimp farming began. Growing up, we watched our grandfathers and fathers farm Black Tiger prawns and modern Vannamei. Living right next to the ponds, we saw how many layers of brokers sit between the farm and the buyer, driving up costs and causing quality headaches. We started Andhra Meridian to work directly with overseas buyers, delivering pond-fresh shrimp at fair prices with complete transparency.

How Buyers Benefit Working With Us

1. Direct Farm Prices (No Broker Markups)

We procure directly at harvest gates in West Godavari and pack at audited facilities. Bypassing intermediary trading desks saves buyers $0.40 to $0.80 per kg on their final invoice.

2. Founders on the Factory Floor

One of our founding partners personally inspects sizing, counts, and drained weights during every packing run. You receive guaranteed 100% true net weight with zero glaze cheating.

3. Smooth Export to Vizag Port

We coordinate antibiotic lab pre-screening, MPEDA export health certificates, and monitored refrigerated container transit directly to Visakhapatnam (Vizag) Port for timely departure.
