The Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) is the state government responsible for the governance of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, operating through a cabinet headed by the Chief Minister, a legislative assembly, and a wide array of departments and public institutions. GoAP oversees agriculture, fisheries, cooperation, rural development, industry, labor, health, education, and coastal management, and works with central government ministries and multilateral agencies on schemes such as PMMSY, PMFBY, and MGNREGA.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: Andhra Pradesh produces the majority of India's farmed shrimp, and the state government's policies drive how this sector operates.
