E-book A Strategic Approach to Sustainable Shrimp Production in Indonesia : The Case For Improved Economics and Sustainbility
Farmed shrimp is among the fastestgrowing food products in the world. In less than two decades, global production has more than tripled from about 1.2 million tons in 2000 to some 4.2 million tons in 2017. As the global population and consumer affluence grow, farm-raised shrimp is becoming an increasingly important source of protein around the world. In the US alone, the average annual consumption of shrimp has risen to four pounds per capita. In 2017, the global market for shrimp, including farm-raised and wild-caught shrimp, was valued at around $40 billion. The dominant species of farmed shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei), or whiteleg shrimp, accounts for about $14 billion. Shrimp production worldwide is expected to grow by more than 5.6% annually, with the greatest
demand coming from China and the US.
