Shrimp exporters in Ecuador and Venezuela are ramping up their exports to the European Union, posing a “direct threat” to Asian shrimp exports, according to shrimp industry analyst Willem van der Pijl.
Van der Pijl founded the Seafood Trade Intelligence Portal (STIP) in 2013 and formed Shrimp Insights, a consultancy aimed at the shrimp sector, in June 2020. In his latest analysis, van der Pjil said South American shrimp exporters have gained a larger market share in the E.U., at the expense of Asian shrimp suppliers.

India turning back to black tiger shrimp as profits fall
By
Litopenaeus vannamei), is exploring a return to growing more black tiger shrimp (
Penaeus monodon) as a means of diversifying its offerings.
India’s shrimp farmers used to farm black tiger shrimp extensively, especially in the country’s coastal regions. But issues with diseases affecting black tiger shrimp production discouraged investment in the sector, and when whiteleg shrimp was introduced to India in 2009, it took just a few years for Indian farmers and investors to complete an almost wholesale shift over to vannamei, which they preferred due to its higher productivity and better disease resilience. India’s black tiger shrimp production fell to 38,000 metric tons (MT) in financial year 2019-2020, down from more than 100,000 MT of production achieved regularly between 2010 and 2013, according to data from India’s Marine Products Exports Development Authority (MPEDA).
