From the Seafood Desk US Shrimp Imports Broadly, the current shrimp market is demand driven. While there are noted shortages on particular items, the market is increasingly defined by price rather than availability. Existing inventories can fill demand, but current inventory costs and higher replacement costs have driven prices higher and demand down. 2011 imports are up 3.3% vs. 2010, but levels remain lower than previous years. Overall, prices are expected to remain close to current levels through 2011, and price relief may not arrive until after the holiday season. For more detailed information by species, please read below.
Cost Factors US dollar weakness, raw material shortages, production cost increases, disease, weather, and increasing foreign demand are all driving raw material costs higher.
Black Tiger Market Tiger inventories are firm to weak with some shortages noted on large size, particularly 4/6 to 8/12 count. Volume on 16/20 count and smaller is moving to white shrimp as pricing on whites continues to improve relative to tigers. A critical shortage of raw material in Vietnam (disease) and a shift in preference to farming whites in India and Vietnam has limited availability on large size tiger shrimp. Prices remain firm and may increase into the holiday season if production does not improve with Vietnam’s next harvest.
