    It was previously reported that India's largest producer of White Shrimp in Ecuador, Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscila (Santa), has entered a new round of expansion, with production or growth to 176,900 tons in 2022 and sales of more than $1.
    2 billion, an increase of more than
    20% over last year.
     
    Omarsa, the second largest producer in Eritrea, will export about 97,000 tons with an export value of 615 million US dollars in 2021; Songa ranks third with an export volume of 71,000 tons and an export volume of 441 million US dollars
    .
     
    Sandro Coglitore, general manager of Omarthal, said at the Global Shrimp Forum that the company's production will grow by 64% to 160,000 tons in 2022 and output by 65% to $
    1 billion.
     
    In the shrimp processing sector, Omasha has invested a number of US$20 million, and its new plant in 2019 will be further expanded, doubling its production capacity and expected to be operational
    in a few weeks.
     
    Coglitore said the new plant focuses on spearhead shrimp production and processing, processing up to 1,400 tons
    per day.
    The lead shrimp is mainly exported to China and southern Europe, which account for about
    70% of exports.
    In addition, Omasha's value-added products accounted for 15% of sales, and 15% of the shrimp were exported to the United States
    .
     
    In the aquaculture sector, an investment expansion project of US$20 million is underway under the umbrella of Omarsha, which is expected to expand and add 600-700 hectares of cultured area next year to achieve further production growth
    .
     
    Rodrigo Laniado, president of Songjia, said that all of the company's shrimp farms have been fully developed, but another form of capitalization operation for the aquaculture industry is not excluded
    .
     
    "90% of the farming companies are privately owned and more than 50% of the farms are small and medium-sized,"
    Laniado said.
    If anyone wants to, we only need a little effort to bring together investment fund managers and try to use capital to create a new shrimp processing and export cluster industrial project
