Though Ecuador has had a strong run of Asian demand for its products since 2012, its growth in production has meant it's been able to serve its broad base of customers around the globe, according to Jose Camposano, president of the National Chamber of Aquaculture.
Asia now accounts for 50 percent of the total imports, but country is still pushing similar percentages into its traditional markets of the US and Europe.
In 2015, Ecuador exported 720 million pounds of shrimp, a rise of around 15 percent over the year prior.
