Vol. 15, No. 12 / Impacts of Imported Shrimp Prices on U.S. Shrimp Dockside Prices. December 2025.

This newsletter shows a proposed methodology in assessing the impacts of cheap imported shrimp on the dockside prices of shrimp harvested from the U.S. Gulf of America states (Penaeid species only) from January 2018 to July 2025.
An econometric model was developed to measure the impacts of imported shrimp count 16-20 prices on the same U.S. shrimp count dockside prices.
Preliminary results showed that the deflated dockside prices of Gulf white shrimp count 16-20 are significantly affected by the deflated wholesale prices of wild Gulf and imported farmed Asian and Latin American white shrimp count 16-20.
