    Tim O'Reilly, general manager of Taprane Seafood Group, a Sri Lankan aquatic company, said that the local shrimp farming industry has transformed from penaeus prawn to South American white shrimp, and a large number of abandoned farms are being reopened, and production will show a large growth trend
    in the next few years.
     
    O'Reilly said Sri Lanka will produce about 14,500 tons in 2021, and it is expected that Sri Lankan production will increase to 22,000 tons in 2022, double to 50,000 tons in 2025, and double to 100,000 tons
    in 2027.
     
    In 2018, Taprobane first introduced South American white shrimp to Sri Lanka, but was opposed
    by local black tiger shrimp farmers and some stakeholders.
     
    Despite the recent turmoil in Sri Lanka, aquaculture growth expectations remain very strong
    .
    O'Reilly said Sri Lanka's production was 10,900 tonnes as of August, outpacing the same
    period last year.
