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.
Similar marketing ploy to what we had with Marine Harvest International shrimp division back in the mid 1990’s. Sell the seed and feed, support with grow-out. Receive final product, brand and export. Ours was Xcellent Brand at Empress International
Is this where also DNA traceability comes into play for customers? On the pack B2C?
…….as seafood and fish protein from Ocean resources gets less and less due to overfishing one can understand and support all these players in the fish protein space.
There is a huge market gap looming. So why not look to fill….people in markets looking to replace beef. Its a health led thing.
Seafood could help lower beef consumption, as well as a health led issue. People are not looking to replace seafood but alt seafood could have its own space with certain sectors.
Seafood companies need to embrace and row in same direction. Perhaps we ought to call it a surf and turf strategy. No-one should feel “under attack”.
Prawn (specifically farmed shrimp) is a different kettle of fish though, haha.
Prawnmaster will show on Sunday post and after ruminating on Beyond Meat scientific meetup…
Saudi vannamei SPF culture in controlled bio-security at government level.
BUT – local species apparently not allowed to be farmed now.
