The international shrimp industry has witnessed prices for this crustacean falling to minimum values, a price reduction viewed as the most drastic in the past five years.
Unit prices touched rock bottom in June 2018 in the main exporter countries such as India, Ecuador and Vietnam.
Producers around the world are concerned over this behaviour of the price on the international market since the fall in values threatens to continue up to 2020 if the increased production continues by the large-scale global suppliers.
