Diplomatic break with Taiwan worries Honduras shrimp industry
In a related report, Honduras' shrimp industry was worried about a diplomatic break with Taiwan.
Shrimp workers fear that the move could jeopardize the free-trade agreement between Honduras and Taiwan, signed in 2008, on which their livelihoods largely depend.
"For Honduras, as a shrimp producer, losing the Taiwanese market is a very difficult situation in terms of price levels," businessman Yader Rodriguez, 46, told AFP.
Shrimp bandits terrorize Ecuador farmers
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported shrimp bandits had terrorized Ecuador farmers.
The South American country is the world's largest shrimp exporter, putting one in every five of the crustaceans on tables around the world, and this "pink gold" raked in a record $7.3 billion in 2022, according to official figures.
However, shrimp farmers are being forced to shell out millions of dollars in private security, which could impact the industry's competitiveness compared to countries like India or Vietnam where production is cheaper.
