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.
Apparently an industry wide panic (according to some) happened after a 4th August post on IHHNV in USA causing a temporary ban of US PL exports from one hatchery.
Europe is a small but growing market and it is about time that a local solution is developed – not least to lower the ridiculously high logistics costs.
This concern may have helped EU players to re-focus.
It is a teeny market anyway for PL supply…
