India, wild shrimp (non-FIP volume)407.24.3%
*India has significant wild production and sells to unengaged markets (likely much remains domestic)
78
Indonesia, wild shrimp (non-FIP volume)312.83.3%
*Indonesia has significant wild production and sells to markets with engagement activities (likely much remains domestic, though China and Japan are also likely export destinations)
79
Mexico, farmed shrimp145.11.5%
*Mexico has significant farmed production volume and exports of shrimp to engaged markets (US) but is not currently considered under the scope of the Mexican Seafood SR. We can evaluate the interest of the US supply chain on this topic.
80
Vietnam, wild shrimp31.90.3%
*Vietnam has some wild production volume and sells some products to engaged markets, but wild shrimp likely much remains domestic in the unengaged market
81
Malaysia farmed shrimp53.60.6%
*previously certified volume LS_16; There is no evidence of any certified farms or products from Malaysia. Last year volume was assigned to Malaysia as there was an imbalance between the global certified volume and the sum of certified volumes by country. This was not the case in 2021
82
Peru farmed shrimp43.50.5%
*previously certified volume LS_20: There is no evidence of any certified volume this year from Peru, but there is evidence of a couple of certified farms. Last year volume was assigned to Peru as there was an imbalance between the global certified volume and the sum of certified volumes by country. This was not the case in 2021.
