Ecuador’s shrimp sector warned that 110,000 hectares are at risk of flooding from El Niño. Shrimp exports reached US$6.56 billion in the first eight months, with sales to the United States up 48% through August, while producers faced higher energy, fuel, fishmeal and fish-oil costs and falling prices.
