Seafood Report
|
Seafood- For the most part, the shrimp markets continue to trade at relatively engaging levels for buyers. Although a deflated US dollar is expected to slow US shrimp imports in the coming months, overall lethargic domestic shrimp demand due to poor food service traffic and lackluster retail sales may cause the shrimp markets may remain fairly appealing into the holidays. Buyers are encouraged to visit coverage for later in 2010 which could experience modestly higher shrimp prices.
