In the past ten years, Skretting Latam's production capacity has gradually increased from 15,000-20,000 tons per month to 8-90,000 tons, and its market share has become larger and larger
.
Carlos Miranda, general manager of Skretting Latam, told UCN: "In the beginning, we were a $100 million company, and now we have a turnover of almost $1 billion and annual sales of 1 million tons

In 2022, Ecuador's shrimp feed demand is about 2.
2 million tons, and the compound annual growth rate of Ecuadorian shrimp production has been maintained in double digits for a long time, attracting a number of foreign companies such as ADM, Cargill, Bioma, Haida Group and Vitapro to strengthen their investment layout, and fiercely compete
with a number of local feed companies such as Agripac, Inprosa and Molinos Champion.

However, rising costs of soy, corn, vegetable oil, wheat, fish oil, fishmeal and other feed ingredients mean feed producers have had to raise selling prices and lower their expected earnings

"We have to remind our clients that there is a war going on in Ukraine, there is a huge inflation problem in the United States and Europe, and China's economic growth is slowing down because of the lockdown, which is a huge crisis

According to Miranda, the biggest challenges for Ecuador's shrimp industry are market prices, disease and overcapacity
.
To support future market growth, Skretting invested $6 million in Guayaquil to open an innovation center equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to test
key technologies for the South American white shrimp farming industry.
"The technologization of farms in Ecuador has accelerated industrial integration, and if large farms can be technological, small and medium-sized farms will follow, and we need to provide some support

The rapid growth of production in Ecuador has raised concerns among environmental groups about the ecological costs, claiming that marine pollution is increasing and the environmental carrying capacity of aquaculture has become overwhelmed
.
.
Miranda explains that the Guayaquil farm has been improving its sewage treatment this year, "Five years ago, 80% of the wastewater was discharged into the sea without treatment, and at the beginning of this year, 90% of the wastewater was treated by the factory, and the solid waste that sank to the bottom of the pond was dug during the drying period

During the development of the new pond, Skretting played an active role
in preventing ecological damage by advancing mangrove planting programs.

"Ecuador's feed industry has created thousands of jobs over the past few years; By the end of next year, at least five new feed mills will be operational, and if one plant employs 1,500 full-time workers, it will support 7,500 families with three children, or 22,000 people
