    In the 47th week (November 21-27), the price of white shrimp ponds in Ecuador rebounded slightly, and the dissatisfaction of shrimp farmers eased, but the overall price level remained at a low point
    .
     
    The specific quotations are as follows: 20/30 (per kg) flat to $4.
    40/kg, 30/40 to $3.
    40/kg, 40/50 to $3.
    15/kg, 50/60 to $2.
    80/kg, 60/70 to $2.
    50/kg, 70/80 flat at $2.
    20/kg, 80/100 flat at $2.
    00/kg, 100/120 flat to $1.
    80/kg, 120/140 flat to $1.
    60/kg
    。 The growth rate of medium and large size (except 20/30) is in the range of $0.
    10/kg-$0.
    30/kg, and although the small size white shrimp has not continued to decline, it has remained low for
    three consecutive weeks.
     
    One shrimp farmer told UCN: "Of course, we've heard that shrimp prices have gone up, but not all processors are willing to pay such a price, and most transactions are that prices are still at last week's level
    .
     
    "Rising prices may seem like a good thing for small retail investors, but that may not be the
    case.
    Because Ecuadorian shrimp prices have once again fallen to the lowest in the world, we certainly cannot rest on our laurels and we want to get our fair share
    back.
    As an important part of the industry, we should fight
    for this together.
    He added
    .
     
    What's more, he believes that Ecuador's small retail farmers need to establish a farming association, especially since the epidemic, many shrimp farmers have been seeking the help of collective organizations, which is a
    priority.
     
    "We need to set up new unions to help us protect our rights and interests, but also to help us connect with exporters, there are no middlemen to earn the difference, we need the most direct and convenient way
    .
    " Another shrimp farmer said, "Many of my farming friends have been forced to close their businesses, have been heavily indebted during the pandemic, and have not received any assistance
    from the government.
     
    "That's why we're going on a national strike in two weeks, and we're just going to make our voices
    heard by the authorities.
    " He said
    .
     
    According to UCN, Ecuadorian shrimp farmers are planning a national strike on December 7 and widely publicized
    it on Facebook and WhatsApp groups.
     
    The strike sign said: "Dear shrimp farmers, please join us in the fight
    for fair prices.
    Harvesting shrimp means bigger losses, and we've
    had enough.
    Price reductions are an internal act, not a response to changes in
    international markets.
    We are not made to export, we account for 69%
    of Ecuador's production.
