📉 India Shrimp Market Update – Week 22 (May 25–31, 2026)
🇮🇳 Indian farm-gate shrimp prices declined for the second consecutive week as seasonal harvesting activities intensified, particularly in major farming regions such as Andhra Pradesh and Nellore.
🔻 Key Highlights from India
• Medium and large-size vannamei shrimp recorded the sharpest price declines
• Benchmark 60-count shrimp dropped another INR 15/kg (~5%)
• 30-count shrimp prices fell by INR 20/kg
• Over the past two weeks, cumulative price losses reached approximately 9–10%
🦐 Market Pressure Factors
• Increased harvest volumes entering the market during the peak season
• Farmers accelerated harvesting due to concerns over White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) outbreaks
• Exporters are facing additional pressure from preliminary US anti-dumping duties announced in May
🌎 Impact on the Global Market
India’s price decline was one of the major factors pushing the UCN Global Farm-Gate Shrimp Index below USD 3.00/kg for the first time in 15 years of recorded data.
📌 Short-term outlook remains cautious as the Indian shrimp sector continues to face pressure from rising supply and global trade uncertainties.
