Many aqua farmers are struggling to market their produce in Konaseema district as Internet services have been suspended post violence in Amalapuram.
Thousands of farmers cultivating fish and shrimp in the coastal villages in the district procure seed, feed, ice and other material in huge quantity.
“As the produce is procured and sold in bulk, the traders and farmers depended on online services. The traders make digital payments to us,” said a farmer, Lanka Kesava Rao, of S. Yanam.
