Shrimp Farming
Shrimp farming is a sustainable and nutritious source of global protein supply, offering high yield per unit area, rapid production cycles, and significant economic benefits for coastal communities. This industry not only provides healthy, Omega-3–rich seafood, but also strengthens employment, exports, and the value chain of the food industry.
Shrimp Farming in Iran
With over 2,700 kilometers of coastline and the tropical climate of its southern region, Iran is one of the most suitable locations for shrimp aquaculture. Major production takes place in the provinces of Hormozgan, Bushehr, and Sistan-Baluchestan, utilizing modern complexes, earthen ponds, and semi-intensive and intensive farming systems. By using the Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and maintaining an integrated chain from hatchery and cultivation to processing and export, Iran offers a high-standard and competitive product for global markets. Compliance with hygiene protocols, quality control, and the expansion of cold-storage infrastructure have made this sector one of the most sustainable branches of the country’s fisheries economy.
Advantages of Vannamei Shrimp
Vannamei shrimp is the most popular species in global markets, offering a combination of premium quality, excellent flavor, and uniform sizing—making it an ideal choice for export customers. Its outstanding performance in freezing, minimal weight loss after processing, and availability in various forms such as HOSO, Headless, PD, PUD, and IQF make it one of the most reliable and sustainable products for suppliers and large-scale buyers.
With high protein content and low fat, Vannamei shrimp is not only a healthy option for global consumers but also a profitable and dependable product for traders and importers, thanks to its stable supply and consistent pricing.
