New report alleges worker abuse in Vietnam shrimp farming sector

The report claims retailers and seafood distributors in the United States and Europe are driving shrimp prices down to unsustainable levels.

The report calls for urgent changes in the way supermarkets source their shrimp. It recommends that supermarkets pay prices that reflect the true cost of sustainable production, about 1.5 to 2 times the current prices.
