The top exporters of crustaceans in 2023 were led by India with $3.6 billion, followed by Ecuador ($2.59 billion), and Canada ($2.4 billion). Over the last two years, India demonstrated strong growth driven by expanded aquaculture facilities and government incentives, while Ecuador capitalized on technological advancements in shrimp farming. Canada saw moderate growth with its premium product positioning. China and Indonesia have shown steady increases, albeit at a slower pace. Argentina and the United States faced fluctuations due to market access issues and regulatory challenges.
Future trends to watch include the impact of sustainable practices on production capabilities, the influence of consumer demand for transparency, and trade policy implications on global seafood markets. A shift towards digital integration in the supply chain is anticipated to streamline operations and enhance traceability.
