Care Solutions for Intensive Shrimp
Intensive shrimp farming is practiced by both individual households and corporate farms. Farms can be small (1-3 ha) for individual households or large (from a couple of ha to 1000 ha) for corporate farms.
Care Principles for Intensive Shrimp
Most shrimp processors and exporters nowadays have invested in one or more shrimp farms in which they invest in terms of sophisticated production methods and e.g. certification. With their own shrimp farms, processors and exporters are able to secure a minimal stability of raw material supply to their processing establishments. Although some smaller farms are organized in associations and directly linked with processors, many operate independently and are linked to processors only through a network of intermediaries.
