Shrimp exports forecast to claw back next year
Bangkok Post
|December 03, 2025
Thai shrimp exports are projected to rebound in 2026 to tally 400,000 tonnes, driven by US tariffs that have weakened competitors.
Ekapoj Yodpinit, president of the Thai Shrimp Association, said the US imposed a 19% tariff on Thai shrimp, similar to the level for key rivals such as Vietnam at 20% and Indonesia at 19%, allowing Thailand to maintain its competitiveness in the US market.
India, which holds a US market share of more than 30%, or roughly 300,000 tonnes, now faces anti-dumping and countervailing duties averaging more than 60% in total. This could undermine India’s competitiveness, potentially allowing Thailand to fill the supply gap if it can ramp up production, he said.
Thailand currently produces about 270,000 tonnes of shrimp a year.
