The global shrimp industry is facing challenges such as economic recovery, decreasing market demand, and rising production costs, leading to significant price drops. In 2024, the industry's future, especially in China, is of great interest. The Organizing Committee of the Shrimp Industry Development Conference of the China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association aims to provide the latest information on the global shrimp industry. Chinese customs data for Q1 2024 shows a decrease in shrimp imports in both volume and value, with Ecuador, India, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and Argentina being the main suppliers.
