Ecuadorian shrimp producer, processor and exporter Omarsa, has doubled its production of organic shrimp over the past two years, but for now demand has plateaued, Jose Torres, technical manager at Omarsa, told IntraFish.
During a tour of the company’s organic operations on the outskirts of Guayaquil in Ecuador, Torres said the company has doubled its organic shrimp production in the last two years from around 2.5 million pounds in 2013 to a predicted 5.5 million in 2015.
“We have not increased the area, rather improved production techniques, survival rates, average sizes, and increased biomass,” Torres said.
