Promising to tell you the Prawn, the whole Prawn and nothing but the Prawn. Here I shine a light on global shrimp aquaculture and downstream markets. For those looking in from outside and those inside interested in the wider outside. Food trends, intelligence, tech, regulatory, investment and some fun, way out, or even wacky, shrimp material. Compressing 4,000 years of shrimp knowledge into 40 years – and counting.
It was 30 years ago that the death of Emperor Hirohito caused a drop in global shrimp prices as the Japanese people went into mourning for a year and consequently did not eat shrimp, a festive offering, out of respect.
However, the abdication of Emperor Akihito and the start of the Reiwa era with Naruhito, is seen as festive and celebratory.
Here is wishing them and the Japanese people well in the coming reign.
…oh, and go out and enjoy eating lots of healthy, good for you shrimp!
…..and eating shrimp is good for your health and heart.
