Ecuadorian shrimp producers are eyeing the South Korean and Japanese markets as they seek to reduce their overwhelming reliance on China.
“Korea is a very good option for us, also Japan and some other important consumers,” Yahira Piedrahita, executive director at shrimp producers trade association Camara Nacional de Acuacultura (CNA), said during the IntraFish Shrimp Forum on Tuesday.
She also highlighted sharp increases in shipments to the United States and Europe last year.
