India Vannamei Shrimp FoB Price (US$/Kg)
Source: statSCALAR
Key Takeaway
- Monthly India Vannamei shrimp FOB prices typically show noticeable variation due to changes in export demand, harvest availability, shrimp size composition, and international buying activity. Prices may strengthen during periods of tighter exportable supply or stronger overseas demand, while increased harvest volumes and softer buying interest can place downward pressure on FOB realizations. Seasonal production cycles can therefore create recurring price movements during the year.
- Month-to-month price changes should also be assessed alongside shrimp size/count, export volumes, feed costs, and major destination-market demand. A sustained increase in FOB prices can indicate tighter supply or improved export demand, whereas a prolonged decline may signal abundant availability or weaker international purchasing. Comparing monthly prices with the previous year is particularly useful for identifying whether current price movements are seasonal or represent a broader change in the market.
About This Dataset
India’s Vannamei shrimp FOB price trend reflects changes in export demand, farm production, shrimp size availability, feed costs, and international market conditions. Prices can vary significantly by count/size, with larger shrimp generally commanding higher unit prices. Export demand from key markets such as the United States, China, and Southeast Asia, along with competition from major producing countries, can influence India’s FOB realizations.
