Why shrimp? This is the question that we get asked the most. Here are 3 reasons. 📈 Huge market: high volumes (e.g., shrimp is #1 most consumed seafood in the USA) + good prices (vs. other tropical species). This big ($40B+), growing market means no demand risk for the farmer. 🔬 Short production cycles: shrimp only need 3-4 months to grow. This has two advantages: we can learn fast by doing tens of trials every year; working capital requirements are manageable. 🦐 High complexity: shrimp are easy to kill, making them a difficult species to produce. However, we like a challenge! Lots of problems to solve = lots of opportunities for a new player to differentiate itself. There are other reasons why we're optimistic about shrimp. Feel free to get in touch if you want to discuss. (Picture: some of our past shrimp, raw and cooked, to answer the question "why is your shrimp grey and not orange?" 😄)

Another great reason: shrimp offer incredible product versatility, from raw to cooked, or head-on to value-added, allowing businesses to serve multiple markets—retail, food service, and processing. A truly ideal product for a dynamic and scalable business!
