Rising Prices Offset Lower Shipments: Indonesia’s Shrimp Export Value Climbs Despite Early-2026 Volume Dip

INDONESIA
Thursday, March 12, 2026, 09:00 (GMT + 9)

Shifting global demand, stronger prices, and expanding Asian markets help sustain export revenues even as shipments to Western buyers weaken. Indonesia’s shrimp export sector has entered 2026 with mixed signals: export volume is declining slightly, but overall value continues to grow, reflecting stronger international prices and changing market dynamics. The trend follows a turbulent 2025, when the industry faced supply disruptions, shifting demand patterns, and volatile monthly trade flows. According to data compiled by VASEP, Indonesia exported 201,113 tons of shrimp in 2025, a figure that remained almost unchanged compared with 2024. However, export earnings climbed 11%, reaching approximately $1.78 billion, signaling improved pricing across several key product categories.
