Shrimp Production in Thailand Did Not Reach the Industry Goal in 2022

Shrimp producers and the Department of Fisheries in Thailand aimed to produce 300K tons of shrimp in 2022 and 400K tons in 2023. The 2022 target was not met due to the epidemic and unfavorable weather, and production remained the same as in 2021. A total of 280K tons of shrimp were produced, with 32% of them coming from the upper southern region, 25% from the eastern region, 21% from the lower southern region along the Andaman Coast, 12% from the central region, and 10% from the lower southern region along the Gulf of Thailand.
