🇪🇺 #EU #shrimp #imports continued their strong recovery through August 2025—but signs of a slowdown are emerging. After months of steady growth, August volumes still outpaced 2024, yet momentum eased across key suppliers, including Ecuador and India. What does this cooling trend signal for Europe’s shrimp demand heading into the final quarter?

Thank you Lufthansa and Tix Travel Group for the worst travel experience in my life. Ok. This story starts with that for the first time in my life missed a flight due to my own mistake. I hadn’t slept and I mistook boarding and departure time on my boarding pass and hence missed my connection to Miami in Frankfurt. No blame to anyone but myself. After waiting for a long time and being able to speak to the Lufthansa service center I found out my ticket was a saver meaning I could not be rebooked to another flight. After sucking that up and realizing that I had to buy a new business class ticket with another airline to my new destination, the Lufthansa staff warned me I had to contact Tix to have them change my no show status so I could still return my own flight. Calling Tix didn’t work out so I decided to move ahead and buy that new ticket counting on Tix to change that status on the system and keep my return business class flight with Lufthansa. While Lufthansa told me only tix could change the status, tix told me only Lufthansa could do it. In the end I got from both the news that due to my no show, the return flight has been cancelled and they couldn’t do anything for me. As I’m now already in Miami and business class flights currently cost 7,000 euros, I just booked my premium economy flight with Air France and will absorb this as well. 4,500 euros business class ticket down the drain! Thanks guys. To be clear, the service people of both Lufthansa and tix were friendly but their systems just skewed me over and I believe this is a disgrace. My learning: don’t ever fly Lufthansa again, and avoid Tix Travel Group’s Gate1.com bookings platform. And a recommendation to all of you to do the same. Thanks Condor and Copa for getting me to Miami after all.

Read my latest update about #India's black tiger #shrimp sector with a detailed overview from genetics and PL supply to processing and export markets and everything in between. What I expext next? Stakeholders have mixed expectations about the pace of India’s P. monodon revival. Some foresee a gradual expansion over the next few years, with production and exports reaching around 75,000–100,000 MT within three to five years. Others are more optimistic and believe growth could accelerate faster. A significant trend highlighted by Ravi Kumar Yellanki of Vaisakhi Bio-Marine, one of Unima’s partners and a top 3 hatchery player, is the expected move of P. monodon farming into lower-salinity areas starting next year. So far, stocking has been limited primarily to farms located directly on the coast and in the tidal creek areas along the East Coast, as well as in Gujarat and a few pockets on the West Coast. Expansion into the inland zones of central and northern Andhra Pradesh would mark a significant shift, potentially involving a much larger number of farmers. Ramraj Dhamodar echoes that Unibio’s PL has proven to perform well in low salinity areas of 5 ppt in Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) to 45 ppt in Prakasam (Andhra Pradesh) and Gujarat—opening the door for wider expansion. Ultimately, the extent of a broader shift back to P. #monodon will depend not only on biological and economic performance but also on market dynamics. Suppose India and the United States manage to reach a trade agreement that reduces tariffs from the current 50% to around 25%. In that case, many farmers—especially in Andhra Pradesh—may stick with L. vannamei. However, if the current trade situation persists, they will likely explore alternatives, and P. monodon could become one of the most attractive options. That said, rapid expansion without corresponding market development could quickly lead to overproduction. Strategic coordination across the industry will therefore be crucial. India’s P. monodon revival must go hand in hand with efforts to diversify markets and actively promote the distinctive qualities of Indian-origin black tiger shrimp. Thanks DHAVALL U COUNNTRAKTOR, Dr Manoj. M. Sharma, Ramraj Dhamodar, Panchu Duraisamy, Mayank Sharma and other Indian friends for helping me understand the direction of your industry!

#India's black tiger shrimp (L. #monodon) sector is making a comeback. After years of limited production, new developments in #broodstock supply, #hatchery capacity, and farmer interest are signaling a slow but steady revival.

Gujarati Tiger: The Best Large Black Tiger Shrimp in the World? Farmers in Gujarat are in a unique position. Looking at the characteristics of their industry, they could rightfully claim to produce some of the best large black tiger shrimp in the world. Why? Let me explain. Shrimp farming in the state is concentrated in four districts in southern Gujarat, just a few hours’ drive from Mumbai. Surat serves as the commercial headquarters of the industry, home to most of the larger companies. The other major farming district are Navsari and to a lesser extent Valsad and Bharuch. The total land under cultivation in these four districts amounts to around 4,000 ha. Due to the regional climate, farmers in Gujarat can typically only produce one crop per year—from March to October or, at the latest, November. This makes it ideal for growing a single cycle of large-sized P. monodon, typically reaching U15 count in five to six months. The result is a unique product—renowned for both its impressive size and striking appearance. Few other origins can match Gujarat’s combination of size, quality, and consistency. Thanks to favorable tidal conditions that carry 20km upstream, Gujarat’s farmers enjoy relatively clean water with low Vibrio loads. As a result, they are less inclined to rely on chemicals or pharmaceuticals when faced with disease risks. Farmers proudly state that their shrimp are raised entirely without antibiotics. Stocking densities are typically low, ranging from 10 to 25 PL/m², in relatively large ponds of 0.5 to 1 hectare. It’s no exaggeration to say that Gujarat’s black tiger shrimp are the “free-range chickens” of the shrimp world. Production volumes remain modest at around 25,000 metric tons annually but could grow to 40,000 metric tons in the future. One of the most distinctive features of Gujarat’s black tiger shrimp sector compared to other Asian origins is its high level of consolidation. The top ten farmer groups collectively control about 80–90% of total production. Each group manages roughly 400–600 hectares, producing between 1,600 and 2,400 metric tons per year. Notable examples include Zeal Aqua, Mindhola Foods, Mayang Aquaculture, Tandels, and Vaishnavi Aquatech. Several of the farmer groups have evolved into exporters themselves. For them, exporting is not only a means to generate revenue but also a strategic way to first hand learn directly from the market what is required to position Gujarat as a preferred origin. With such a consolidated and forward-looking group of companies leading the way, Gujarat’s farmers have a real opportunity to join forces and collectively promote their product as what it truly is—the best large black tiger shrimp in the world.

Ecuador's August exports increased only 3% year over year. Will the second half of the year really experience slower growth than the first half, or will Gabriel Luna be right and will growth strengthen in the next couple of months? What's clear from this month's data is that China's imports are going to drop while the EU and the US continue to absorb the increased output.

🇪🇨 #Ecuador's #shrimp #exports kept momentum in August, with both value and volume holding well above last year. Markets tell a mixed story: while China slowed down, the US, EU, and Japan all pulled more product, keeping Ecuador firmly on its growth path.
