Since July this year, due to the discovery of the new crown virus in the outer packaging, the export of Ecuadorian shrimp to China has fallen sharply. Ecuadorian exporters are worried that it may take several years for the recovery of exports to China.

Previously, more and more Ecuadorian shrimp producers emptied their fish ponds when export orders dried up and prices fell to the bottom. Now export growth is good news.
