    According to the statistics of theMexican National Aquaculture and Fisheries Commission (Conapesca), Mexico’s shrimp production in 2021 is about 227,000 tons, an increase of 3.
    7% over the previous year, and the output value exceeds US$1 billion
    .
     
    Among them, the production of cultured shrimp (180,000 tons) accounted for 78% of the total production, an increase of 5% over the previous year
    .
    In the past 4-5 years, the production of farmed shrimp in Mexico has increased from 160,000 tons to 180,000 tons, a slow increase
    .
    Despite the epidemic, the growth of the farmed shrimp sector has not stopped, and the growth rate in 2022 is expected to be between 8%-10%
    .
     
    At present, Mexico is the second largest shrimp exporter in Latin America, second only to Ecuador
    .
    However, the shrimp farms in Mexico still have no electricity supply, lack of healthy and fast-growing shrimp larvae, and modern equipment such as aerators and automatic feeding machines
    .

     
    The Mexican shrimp industry still has a long way to go.
    Most of the breeding cycle is as long as 6-8 months, so the resistance to diseases is weak
    .
    The main harvest season takes place between August and December, which means that Mexico will also need to rely on imports from other countries in the first half of the year.
    Mexico’s annual shrimp imports are about 40,000 tons, but the exports are mainly high value-added products
    .

     
    At present, 80% of the shrimp products exported by Mexico go to the United States, and the other 20% are sold to Europe and China
    .
    India and Ecuador are the main competitors of Mexican white shrimp
    .
