Last week, Spheric Research was on the ground in Guayaquil, Ecuador, for AquaExpo 2024, the premier event for the region’s aquaculture industry. Organized by the Cámara Nacional de Acuacultura from October 21-24, the expo provided a firsthand look into the epicenter of global shrimp farming, an industry undergoing historic expansion while navigating significant challenges.
Our time at the event offered valuable insights into the modernization of Ecuador’s shrimp sector. Discussions and presentations highlighted the industry’s rapid adoption of new technologies and strategies to boost efficiency and output.
A deeper analysis of the technification trends and market dynamics within the Ecuadorian shrimp industry will be featured in our upcoming 2025 Land-Based Aquaculture Report.
