With these reports, I aim to inspire you to look beyond the obvious and to gain a deeper understanding of the shrimp industry. These reports are written in such a way that they are attractive and accessible for a broad audience. The reports will be publicly available. I aim to publish two reports per year.

The shrimp industry is fascinating. It is a fragmented industry, largely driven by family-owned companies and hundreds of thousands of farmers around the world. More recently, corporate players, banks, investment funds, and start-ups have entered the arena and started to change the structure and dynamics of the industry. There is one thing that all these people have in common: passion for the shrimp industry. I would like to match your passion with my blog. Once a month, I will write about a topic that fascinates me.

Although some of you might think broodstock is not that relevant for your part of the business, I respectfully disagree. The quality of broodstock can make or break a successful crop: better genetics may reduce volatility and risks, and stability and predictability benefit the industry as a whole. So I’m happy that you’ve started reading this blog! In my 2019 L. vannamei broodstock report. I extensively covered the L. vannamei broodstock market and the companies that rule it.

Building up to the Boston Seafood Show in March this year, I have decided to split this second part of my blog on the US importers into several more pieces as the NOAA’s import data and Urner Barry’s Foreign Trade Data simply provide too many insights to fit into this second part. In this part, I will elaborate on the NOAA’s import data. Then, over the next couple of weeks, short blogs on Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam will follow.
