    The inaugural Global Shrimp Forum was held on 7 September in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and was attended by 400-500 shrimp farmers, feed companies, technology suppliers, service providers, processors, exporters, importers, wholesalers, retailers and other industry stakeholders
    .
     
    Gabriel Luna, general manager of GLuna Shrimp, an Ecuadorian aquatic company, said that in 2021, the output of Ermes shrimp exceeded 1 million tons for the first time, and the export volume reached 841,000 tons; from the perspective of development growth in recent years, production will increase to 1.
    35 million tons in 2022, and exports will be 1.
    05 million tons
    .
     
    Conditions such as germplasm breeding, quality feed, automated feeding and aerators have created a good growth environment for the shrimp farming industry, while reducing production costs, and the trend of significant increase in shrimp production will be maintained
    .
    Luna believes that in the medium to long term, the growth rate of aquaculture in India and other Southeast Asian countries has slowed due to rising costs, compared with Ecuador's obvious
    advantage.
     
    How long can Ecuador's growth momentum last? Luna replied: "Without a permanent trend, we may not be able to sustain double-digit growth in ten years' time
    .
    Shrimp farming in Ecuador covers an area of about 220 000 ha, but only 25 per cent is 'technical', which means there is still plenty of room for
    growth.
     
    In Ecuador, Luna said, the average annual production per hectare of cultured area is about 4.
    5 tonnes, and some farms with advanced equipment can achieve this production figure in three months
    .
    "We are moving from the traditional model to the technical direction, more and more farms are getting better and more efficient, and the opening of automatic feeding equipment manufacturers and the world's major aquatic feed suppliers in Ecuador has had a great impact on
    the aquaculture industry.
    "
     
    Ecuadorian production continued to increase before and after the epidemic, Europe and the United States imported more Ecuadorian deauthorized and value-added shrimp products, exports to North America increased by 56% in 2021, Europe increased by 30%, and Ecuadorian companies increased investment in
    value-added product lines.
     
    In the first half of 2022, demand for Ecuadorian spearhead shrimp and head-removed reprocessed shrimp products rose in China and the rest of Asia, with sales up 63%
    year-on-year.
    During the same period, sales growth in Europe and North America slowed, with growth of 7% and 10%
    year-on-year, respectively.
