Brazilian tilapia producer and seafood processor GeneSeas said it expects to see a 20 percent uptick in shrimp sales in 2020, helped by investments in value-added lines and rising seafood demand in South America's largest nation.

Last year Sao Paulo-based GeneSeas sold 1,000 metric tons of valued-added shrimp products under its DellMare brand, but is aiming to raise that to 1,200 metric tons by the end of this year.
