Crisil reported that revenue from export of shrimps is expected to dart up 20% on-year to about $4.3 billion in calendar 2021, driven by a revival in demand and restoration of supply chains that were disrupted last year by the Covid-19 pandemic. That should help India wrest global leadership in shrimp exports after slipping to the second spot in calendar 2020, a study of 97 CRISIL-rated exporters, accounting for over two-thirds of the industry’s revenue, shows. In calendar 2020, lockdowns and supply-chain disruptions meant exports declined to $3.6 billion from $4.7 billion in 2019. Ecuador edged past India with $3.7 billion exports because it had fewer logistical snafus and focused on catering to the voracious appetite in China for raw shrimps.
