Indian shrimp farmers face pressure on profitability despite a 3% increase in overall volumes, as higher feed costs weigh on farm economics. Industry representatives attribute rising shrimp-feed prices partly to El Niño-related disruptions to fishmeal, fish oil, soybean meal and other raw materials; unseasonal rain and higher Vibrio loads are also complicating production, while shrimp prices remain subdued amid global oversupply.
Weather-related constraints on marine and crop ingredients raise aquafeed manufacturing costs, while weak shrimp prices limit farmers’ ability to pass those costs along. That supports prices for affected feed ingredients but may curb shrimp production and feed demand if margins deteriorate.
