The second annual Global Shrimp Forum was held in the Netherlands, with participants from all segments of the shrimp industry, including retailers, processors, producers, and investors. The forum addressed the challenges and opportunities facing the global shrimp industry, particularly the declining export prices for Ecuador's shrimp due to oversupply. While experts expect slower growth in the second half of the year, they still anticipate substantial growth for Ecuador's shrimp exports overall, and some believe the market may improve after the Lunar New Year.
