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.
Those in shrimp industry have no need to worry…….millenials are not leading trend…in fact had negative plant based food growth. It is the older generation becoming more flexitarian that really are leading the charge.
