How Shrimp Farming Is Transforming Punjab’s Salty Wastelands

In the heart of landlocked Punjab, hundreds of kilometres from the coast, farmers are raising a sea species: shrimp. This film follows Lakhwinder Singh, the first shrimp farmer in his district, and the neighbours who adopted his experiment, as they turn saline, “barren” soils into productive aquaculture ponds. Land that could not grow wheat, rice or even fish now produces a valuable crop. The work is demanding. Ponds are dug and prepared, water is filled and monitored, salinity is managed, and feeding happens several times a day. Minerals and medicines are added when needed, and farmers keep watch through the night. The gains are striking: harvests worth crores, steady work for local youth and exports to Europe, the USA and Asia. But this success is fragile. Prices fluctuate, tariffs hurt, diseases can destroy stock overnight. This is a story about risk, reinvention and what it takes to farm the sea, far from any shore.
