Price trend of vannamei shrimp

In the 30th week of 2025 (July 21-27), the global farmgate price of vannamei shrimp continued to rise, with prices in most major producing countries rising. Due to disease outbreaks and the end of the peak harvest season, the global shrimp supply has decreased.

Ecuador:

The price of Ecuadorian shrimp hit its biggest increase this year in the latest week, with disease-related supply cuts driving up prices for large-sized shrimp.

But the price surge has raised concerns about profitability among processors and exporters, as high costs make it difficult to maintain competitiveness in the export market after adding transportation costs.

Executives of large Ecuadorian packaging companies said that most farming areas are still dealing with disease problems, and reduced shrimp supplies have led to price spikes. Stronger demand from China has further exacerbated supply constraints, with recent purchases reportedly increasing. Industry sources said limited stocks of Argentine red shrimp have also prompted buyers to switch to Ecuadorian white shrimp as an alternative protein. As the August 1 tariff deadline approaches, Ecuador's 10% tariff advantage over the United States is attracting more attention from American buyers.

India:

Indian shrimp prices continued their slow upward trend in the latest week, with vannamei shrimp prices rising for most sizes in Andhra Pradesh. Farmers reported severe shortages of raw materials ahead of the monsoon season.

Farmers also face disease outbreaks and uncertainty ahead of the August 1 U.S. tariff deadline. Industry sources said production is expected to fall significantly in the second half of 2025 as farmers reduce stockings during the critical monsoon period due to tariff uncertainty.

China:

Prices in China's main vannamei shrimp producing regions continue to climb as disease outbreaks and the strongest typhoon of the year tighten supply.

Industry sources said the rebound began in late June and supply in several major producing regions has become increasingly tight.

China's southern provinces have seen fewer commercial-sized shrimp harvests due to disease, and tighter shrimp supplies are expected to push up prices
