2.  The ban imposed on the import of food
from western economies will benefit the
Russian agricultural market.
 Earlier this month, Russia imposed a ban
on the import of fruits, vegetables, meat,
poultry and fish from the United States
and its allies in revenge for sanctions
against Moscow for the crisis in Ukraine.
 Moscow has been negotiating to find
alternative sources of farm supplies,
especially Latin America, Turkey, Egypt
and China.

3. Ecuador and Russia are completing a technical cooperation agreement to
strengthen science, technology and trade in seafood areas.
Between January and May of this year, Ecuador exported USD 387 million
to Russia, 18% more than the previous year sales.
Frozen shrimp is another area that has grown up in the Russian market.
José Antonio Camposano, Chief Executive of Camara Nacional de
Acuacultura, said the Russian market have complex terms of payment, the
employer should consider this when they are doing business.

4. Shrimp
The Ecuadorian shrimp is known for
its exquisite flavor, color and
texture, it is recognized as a
gourmet product worldwide.
It's a food that has a very low level of
fat and calories. Shrimp is rich in
components such as omega 3 and
vitamin A.

5.  The climatic advantages of the country allow up
to three crop cycles generated per year, and
more productive development per hectare.
 White shrimp Litopenaeus or vannamei
representing more than 95% of Ecuador's
production.

7. The main destination for non-oil
exports from Ecuador in 2013 has
been the United States,
representing about 22.13% of total
exports in the period and Russia
with a 9.10%
In the European Union
Ecuadorian shrimp pays a
tariffs of 3.6%. Although
thanks to the Generalized
System of Preferences (GSP)
the country has a tariff
reduction of eight points, the
same that expires in 2014

9. 39% of Ecuadorian shrimp
exports to the world were
to Europe, whereas Asia
was 15%

10. • According PROECUADOR, Ecuador can bid 400 million pounds
of shrimp annually, including value-added products.
• According to the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE) in January were
sold abroad 20,000 tons of shrimp (about 41 million)
• This year, shrimp exports increased by 29.7% compared to the
previous year
• Within the non-oil products, shrimp is the second largest export
of the country.

11. Japan
 The Japanese market is totally dependent on imported shrimp, and the weaker yen and
rising international prices have contributed to shrinking demand. Demand for raw
shrimp is declining, while demand for processed shrimp is increasing.
 Processed shrimp imports went up by 2.18% compared with the same period last year.
Europe
 Sluggish domestic demand, high shrimp prices and short supplies prompted many
European buyers to withdraw from the international market because they were unable
to compete with buyers from other countries.
 For the first six months of the year total shrimp imports into the European Union
declined by 7%. Imports from Ecuador, the largest supplier, were down slightly by 2.1%.

12. •China
Buyers from China have been actively buying shrimp from major producing countries in
Asia, particularly from India. As a result, shrimp imports into China from January to June
2013 were up significantly over the same period in 2012, up 16.4% with more supplies
coming from Asian and Latin American. Supplies from Ecuador and India increased by
117.6% and 130.8%, respectively.
India:
Raw materials shortage because of diminished crops, heavy rains; whitespot
disease and the on-going political problems in Andhra Pradesh have badly affected
the delivery of shrimp from farms to processing plants. As a result, ex-farm prices
of 30-count per kilowhole jumped to $6.50–$8.20 in August 2013 from $3.30–$4.90
in 2012.

13. •Thailand:
Thai shrimp companies have been importing raw materials from Ecuador and
India to keep their processing plants running.
Vietnam:
Despite having similar problem as Thailand, Viet Nam’s shrimp exports
generated $1.67 billion for the first eight months of 2013, up 18% compared
to the same period in 2012.

17. The shrimp industry has had interesting
developments in exports despite the
competition, standing out as a high quality
product which has developed a process to
achieve high export figures.
