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.

2023 Mid-Year Trade Data Review: Imports

Bucket

During the first half of 2023, shrimp buyers and sellers worldwide have been suffering from slow consumer demand and low prices. In this blog, I will summarize the latest import data for the world’s four largest shrimp markets; the US, China, the EU, and Japan. In this relatively short blog you will find the necessary figures to draw your own conclusions and discuss how imports will develop in the second half of 2023 and beyond.

2023 Mid-Year Trade Data Review: Exports

Bucket

During the first half of 2023, shrimp buyers and sellers have been suffering from low prices on one hand, and increasing costs on the other. In this blog, I will present the latest available trade data for each major supplier and market and highlight the most interesting developments. 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.
