New and upcoming L. vannamei producers

How do these players manage to position and profile themselves among the larger producers? What are the challenges they are confronted with to grow their business? Do they have the potential to position themselves as niche suppliers - gauging better prices due to the story they have to tell? Or do they struggle in the marketplace because of a lack of visibility and a lack of knowledge?
In this seminar we will provide an overview of what’s happening with smaller producers in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East and we will talk with some of the leading producers from these countries. We will also touch upon RAS farming of L. vannamei shrimp in Europe and the US, but this specific segment will be covered more extensively next year.
