The Shrimp blog

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.

Digesting this data will help us better understand the impact of the low prices and high costs on trade flows and how the market may develop over the next few months. I will publish the blog in two parts. In this first part, I will report on export data. The second part will deal with import data.
