ANALYSIS: June US Shrimp Imports Rise 3.4% as Origin Mix Continues to Shift

June official US shrimp imports totaled 163.1 million lbs, up 3.4% versus June 2025. The headline gain is modest, but the origin composition behind it reflects a more significant shift that has been building through the first half of the year.

Ecuador recorded 62.6 million lbs in June, up 58.3% year over year — outpacing India by nearly 5 million lbs in a single month. On a YTD basis through June, Ecuador has shipped 317.7 million lbs, up 27.4% versus the same period in 2025. India, by contrast...

Advocates Report ICE 'Soft Raid' Targeting Workers at Washington Seafood Plant

For the past three months, agents reportedly working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been targeting the Premier Packing plant in Lynden, WA. Over those months, the federal agency's strategies have changed as Washington laws have passed to protect residents from illegal ICE actions.

"One of the things that makes this unique is it's along roadsides, on public thoroughfares," said Jeremy Dorrough, executive director of Racial Unity Now, the advocacy group documenting ICE activity in the area. "It's even, in some of the instances, happened at people's place...

Chile's Economic Reform Law Clears Congress, Giving Salmon Farmers Long-Sought Regulatory Relief

Chile's Congress has given final approval to President José Antonio Kast's flagship economic reform package, the Ley de Reconstrucción Nacional y Desarrollo Económico y Social, and the aquaculture sector is among the clearest winners. The Senate signed off on August 4 after months of contentious debate, completing a bill that industry groups had lobbied hard to shape.

For salmon farming, the headline provision is a new "micro-relocation" mechanism that allows operators to shift the physical footprint of an existing concession by up to 350 meters...

Oregon's $3B Tariff Bill Hits Seafood-Dependent Coast Hard, New State Report Finds

Oregon importers paid nearly $3 billion in tariffs between March and December 2025 as the state's effective tariff rate surged from roughly 2% to multiples of that figure, according to a new analysis released August 3 by Governor Tina Kotek's office.

The report — co-authored by the Office of Economic Analysis, the Oregon Employment Department, and Business Oregon — found that Oregon was hit harder than most US states, a direct consequence of its coastal geography and port-dependent trade flows. The seafood industry, which relies...
