    An Indian processing industry person said: "Raw material prices have been rising since August, and supply is sluggish

    .
    The specifications of raw materials in India are relatively small, with 40-70 (per kilogram) mostly, 30-40 very few, and 20-30 even more scarce
    .
    "
     
    Another source said: "The second crop cultivation situation is not ideal.
    The white shrimps that were put into seedlings in July and August encountered bad weather successively, and the quality of seedlings declined.
    In many areas, there were outbreaks of enterosporidiosis and even white spot disease.
