Shrimp is America’s No. 1 seafood item in terms of per-capita consumption, and with imported product representing upward of 90 percent of the U.S. shrimp supply, staying abreast of production forecasts, price and sales trends and the economic  and political climate overseas is no simple task. But it’s imperative. A panel of industry experts will delve into these subjects, offering invaluable insight on what to expect in 2010. Are Asian and Latin American farmers in a position to increase production? Will profit margins continue to narrow, and will U.S. importers and distributors continue to be squeezed? Will U.S. foodservice sales rebound from the recession? These are just a few of the questions the panel will address at the Annual Shrimp Forum.
