Dont say that to me. Poor Vnese may steal fish like Indonesia pirates robbing around ASEAN, but rich Aussie, rich Brunei, rich JP etc dont buy cheap, unhealthy fish from Indonesia.

Pls Stop your nonsense here. Tell that to Aussie inspection guys.

Lol, you make me speechless with your comment, have you have any shame at all to be a thief!!??
By the way if you are thinking that australia will replace indonesian shrimp with vietnam illegal shrimp you must be kidding, indonesia are the biggest buyer for australian beef industies, if they switch to vietnam shrimp we also can switch buying beef from australia to new zealand, brazil or USA, something the australian dont want that to happen lol....its tit for tat my viet friend thats why indonesia is the largest shrimp exporter not just to australia but in the world

Report: India world’s largest shrimp exporter in 2016
By Undercurrent NewsAug. 29, 2017 0

ndia was the largest exporter of farmed shrimp in 2016, according to a report from the Globefish division of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

According to the FAO, the top five shrimp exporters to the international market in 2016 were India with 438,500 metric tons, up 14.5% year-on-year; Vietnam, with 425,000t, up 18–20%; Ecuador, 372,600t, up 7.8%; Indonesia, 220,000t, 21%; and Thailand, 209,400t, up 22%. Exports from China also increased by 7% to total 205,300t. India’s top export markets included the US, Vietnam, the EU and Japan.

For the second leading exporter, Vietnam, all volumes to its main markets of China, the US, the EU, the Republic of Korea and Australia demonstrated growth when comparing 2016 over 2015.

For Ecuador, the third largest exporter, Vietnam remained its number one export market for shrimp. Compared with 2015, supplies to this market increased by nearly 39%, reaching 165,700t in 2016. The total export value was $2.6 billion, up 12%. However, as Undercurrent News has previously reported, a lot of the shrimp shipped from Ecuador to Vietnam is then smuggled across the border into China.

Thai shrimp exports maintained growth for the third consecutive year. In volume terms, more than 40% of Thai shrimp exports consisted of processed shrimp (85,200t). The total export value for shrimp was $2bn in 2016.

Another development was the increased exports of value-added shrimp from India, growing from 10,100t in 2015 to 23,400t, up 130% in 2016, mostly directed to the US market.

Supply
Mixed production trends for farmed shrimp were observed in Asian producing countries during 2016, with a total estimated production of around 2.5 million metric tons.

“While disease remained a major concern, adverse weather conditions also had impacts on production particularly during the first half of the year. Fortunately supplies recovered in India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand during the second half of 2016,” wrote the FAO.

According to a survey by the Aqua Culture Asia Pacific magazine, production in Thailand increased to 300,000t in 2016, whereas there were over 400,000t harvested in India and Vietnam each.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Vietnam also reported production of 250,000t of black tiger production in the Mekong Delta area in 2016.

In addition, Vietnam imported over 300,000t of frozen shrimp for reprocessing/re-exporting in 2016.

Indonesian production remained around 350,000t. In China, production remained below 2015 levels, estimated between 600 000–800 000t. Reports from six major farming provinces in southern China indicated that overall vannamei production declined by more than 150,000t in 2016.

In Latin America, production was estimated to be between 500,000–600,000t in 2016, with Ecuador and Mexico as the leading suppliers.

Vannamei shrimp prices increased marginally during 2016. In the single largest import market, the US, there was a 5.5% rise in import prices compared with 2015. US prices for Indian shrimp and Ecuadorean shrimp increased by 2.7% for and 7.8% respectively. However, compared with 2015, the average US import price from Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam was lower by 1.2–1.7%.

In terms of wild-caught shrimp, shrimp landings in Argentina increased by 17% y-o-y to total 167,300t in 2016, despite falling catches during the last two months of the year.

Higher landings led to a year-on-year 32% rise in Argentinean shrimp exports. In the US, 2016 landings of shrimp were the lowest since 2010.

Import markets
Most of the large shrimp markets showed positive growth in 2016 compared with 2015.

The top markets posting increased imports were the EU, up 2% to 780,000t, the US, up 3.2% to 606,000t, China, up 4–5% at 350,000–360,000t and Japan, up 4.6% at 223,600t.

In Japan, stable consumer demand for shrimp throughout 2016 helped to maintain positive import growth compared with 2015.

The leading suppliers were Vietnam, Thailand, India, Indonesia and China. Nearly 27% of imports consisted of value-added products such as tempura shrimp, cooked shrimp, and sushi shrimp with rice.

Aside from Ecuador, the US remained the number one destination for the major shrimp exporters. In 2016, there were a record amount of shrimp imports by the US, as well as declining domestic landings. Both figures together correspond to the US total shrimp supply, which was approximately 3% higher than in 2015.

In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration rejected 133 shrimp consignments of shrimp destined to this market due to the existence of prohibited antibiotics. Shipments came from India (95), Vietnam (17) and China (15). This was the third highest number of refusals reported since 2002.

Among the various product forms imported into this market, supplies increased for raw shell-on, raw peeled and cooked shrimp but declined for breaded shrimp.

It is interesting to note that imports of large and medium-large shell-on shrimp (U/15 through 21/25) increased by 9% in 2016, reaching almost 90,000t, whereas imports of the medium sizes (31/40 to 51/60) were stagnant at 87,000t compared with 2015.

For the EU market, consumer demand for shrimp in the EU remained relatively weak in 2016. However, stable prices of vannamei did help to recover total EU shrimp imports in 2016 by 2% to total 783,900t, according to the FAO. Imports from extra-EU countries, which supply 73% of imports, increased only by 1.5% while intra-EU trade grew by 25%.

Among the top suppliers, imports increased from Ecuador, Argentina, Greenland and Vietnam but declined from India. Beginning in late 2016, the EU Veterinary Authority has increased the mandatory quality checks of Indian farmed shrimp from 10-50%, a move that contributed to additional costs for importers and led to diversification of shipments to other markets.

Asia and other markets
Strong regional and intra regional trade in shrimp persisted in Asia during 2016 in order to supplement local demand and facilitate re-exports. Year-on-year imports increased significantly in Vietnam, China, the Republic of Korea and Hong Kong.

China’s shrimp imports in 2016 increased by 4% to total 107,000t, with Argentina, Canada, Ecuador, Thailand and Greenland as top suppliers.

Some of this trade may not be reported. As Undercurrent reported earlier in the year, as much as 270,000t was smuggled across the Vietnam-China border in 2016.

For the last three years, there have been strong growth trends in legal Vietnamese shrimp imports, wrote the FAO.

In 2016, Vietnam was possibly the largest shrimp importer in Asia. Combined exports of tropical shrimp from Ecuador, India, Thailand, Iran and Malaysia to Vietnam totaled 303,000t in 2016, which is 100,000t higher than in 2015. Another 20,000–30,000t were supplied by Venezuela, Argentina, Canada and other Latin American sources.

Ok,u r on my ignore list. Can not show how many tons.FAQ.org also post negative news on Indonesian shrimp in 2017 , but keep lying like cheap clown.

Dont reply cos u r on my ignore list.
________________

China remained the largest producer of cultured shrimp but with lower production compared with 2016 due to persistent disease issues. The majority of China's harvest enters the domestic market.
India is the world's second largest producer of farmed shrimp but in contrast to China, its shrimp industry is largely export-oriented. Production has been good in 2017,

............

Viet Nam, shrimp production also increased; 679 000 hectares were used for brackish aquaculture during January–August 2017, which is 4.2% more than in the same time period in 2016. However, heavy rainfall in August caused low salinity in the ponds and affected shrimp health, with raw material prices rising since then.
In Indonesia, unfavorable weather has affected shrimp production. Raw materials prices are rising and supplies are low for export processing. In Thailand a reasonable recovery continues in the farmed shrimp sector. The industry reported a 10–20 % rise in production during 2017 compared with 2016.
In terms of wild-caught shrimp, another bumper catch of shrimp was reported for Argentina. From January–August 2017, landings totaled 139 000 tonnes, a 34.7% rise compared with the same period last year.

Mnuchin Floats Rejoining Trans-Pacific Partnership, Trade Deal Trump Shelved

Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, said the United States had “begun to have very high-level conversations” about rejoining the Trans-Pacific Partnership.ERIC THAYER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

By ALAN RAPPEPORT
February 27, 2018

WASHINGTON — More than a year after President Trump abruptly pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, saying it was a bad deal for the United States, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Tuesday that the United States is discussing rejoining the multilateral trade agreement.

Mr. Mnuchin, speaking at an investment summit meeting sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that renegotiating the trade agreement was “on the table” and that he had been in talks with other countries about what it would take for the United States to reverse course.

Mr. Trump withdrew from the deal in January 2017, dooming President Barack Obama’s signature trade agreement and leaving the 11 other countries in the pact scrambling to renegotiate the deal on their own. But Mr. Trump appears to have found a renewed interest in an agreement that he once described as “a rape of our country.”

“I’ve met with several of my counterparties and other people, and we’ve begun to have very high-level conversations about T.P.P.,” Mr. Mnuchin said, adding that Mr. Trump would still prefer to do one-on-one trade agreements first. “It’s not a priority at the moment, but it is something the president will consider.”

"from the beginning of 2018 to mid-February" geez the Viet communists have a strange way of calculating their figures which is abnormal.

Not a big problem, rich TPP nations like Aussie, Brunei,JP, Sing, CAD will buy lots of seafood from VN after we pass their very strict food inspection.

 

[Viet]

lol selling shrimp to 10 TPP is enough to make VN rich.... Seriously, you should really do a IQ test. How about this, ask your half brother Viet, see if he agree with you?

True. Shrimp farming is high tech.

Shrimp industry fears domino effect from possible EU India ban
By Neil RamsdenOct. 27, 2017 09:18 GMT

The Indian -- and indeed global -- shrimp sectors are holding their breath while they await a decision from the European Union on whether it will take measures against perceived health risks of Indian shrimp imports, Siam Canadian Group CEO Jim Gulkin told Undercurrent News.

"If there is an outright ban, or other severe restrictions placed that could drastically curtail India shipments to the EU, there will be a domino effect on the industry," he said.

Such an event could lead to several different outcomes, he said.

GOAL: Industry bullish over global shrimp production in 2018, 2019


One is that India "totally pivots to the US market", and increases sales as much as it possibly can to Vietnam and China too.

"As a result, Thailand and Indonesia would be further squeezed from the US market. Thailand does not have the option of increasing their sales to the EU to pick up some of the slack left by an India ban, due to Thailand’s lack of GSP [generalized scheme of preferences] privileges."

In this scenario Indonesia could potentially pick up some EU business, "but their market in the EU has always been marginal; the factories are mostly not well set up for EU-type production so there would be a limit to what they could gain", Gulkin said.

The net result for both Thailand and Indonesia would be lower sales to the US, with no obvious alternative markets to make up the loss.

"Vietnam would be the net winner in Asia. It already has substantial market share throughout the EU, and it would be easy for it to ramp this up," he predicted; admittedly, speaking before the EU issued its "yellow card" warning to Vietnam over a perceived lack of efforts against illegal fishing.

"Vietnam already struggles in the US market, so new opportunities in the EU would be a net gain, despite increased competition in the US." The potential danger for Vietnam is that the EU restricts imports from there, over concerns that reprocessed Indian raw material could find its way to Europe via Vietnam, he noted.

Can stop laughing wt a self called "largest shrimp exporter", shrimp tech is too low for EU standard ........but their market in the EU has always been marginal; the factories are mostly not well set up for EU-type production so there would be a limit to what they could gain",

True. Shrimp farming is high tech.

True. Seem like only VN shrimp farming tech is good enough to pass all required inspection in Aussie, EU and other rich TPP markets.
