In 2021, Santa's shrimp production reached 147,417 tonnes, and this year's production may grow to 176,900 tonnes
.
Santa is almost the size of Omarsa and Songha combined
.
As the second largest producer in Ecuador, Omarsha will export about 97,000 tons with an export value of 615 million US dollars in 2021; Songjia ranks third with an export volume of 71,000 tons and an export volume of 441 million US dollars

Sources said that ecuador's large producers, including Santa, are willing to expand production significantly, and the company has just received a long-term loan of $45 million from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, which will be used to purchase and upgrade 1,234 hectare shrimp farms in the Naranjal area near the city of Guayaquil.
This includes replacing diesel power with electricity, increasing the level of automation, and more
.

Prior to this, Santa already owned 12,000 hectares of aquaculture land, of which 4,000 hectares were bap (Best Aquaculture Practice) or ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) certification
.
80-90% of Santa's white shrimp ingredients are supplied
by its own farms.

In Ecuador, Santa also has four aquatic product processing plants, one of which (Tropack) also has a tilapia value-added product processing business, and the remaining three factories are located in Guayaquil, focusing on HOSO (lead with shell) South American white shrimp and value-added products
