Thailand Vannamei Shrimp Farm Gate Price (US$/Kg)
Source: statSCALAR
Key Takeaway
- Thailand’s Vannamei shrimp farm-gate prices are influenced by harvest volumes, shrimp size, farm production costs, processor procurement demand, and international export conditions. Monthly prices can rise when farm supply tightens or processor demand strengthens, while increased harvest availability or weaker downstream demand can place downward pressure on farmer realizations. Seasonal production cycles and weather conditions can also contribute to short-term price fluctuations.
- Tracking Thailand’s farm-gate prices in US$/kg provides an indication of changes in farmer-level realizations and the domestic supply-demand balance. Comparing monthly movements with export prices, production volumes, feed costs, and prices in competing shrimp-producing countries helps distinguish local supply-driven changes from broader international market movements.
About This Dataset
Thailand’s Vannamei shrimp farm-gate price for count size 40 measures the price received by producers for shrimp sold at the farm stage. Market pricing is shaped by production volumes, shrimp size and quality, harvesting cycles, feed and other input costs, disease conditions, seasonal availability, and processor procurement activity. Developments in international demand and Thailand’s export competitiveness can further influence domestic farm prices. Movements in global shrimp prices and changes in export orders may consequently affect the earnings received by farmers.
