In April, The Shrimp Summit 2025 has announced Speaker Commitments. It will be held at the Grand Hyatt Bali, Nusa Dua, 22-25 June 2025. Organiser, The Center for Responsible Seafood (TCRS) says that this is the only event of its kind to bring together the full value chain—including major seafood buyers—to focus on practical approaches for improving the efficiency, sustainability, and viability of the global shrimp industry. It is callingstakeholders to join for a hands-on opportunity to experience—and shape—the industry’s future.
Top speakers will lead in-depth sessions on the latest developments in the shrimp industry. As it has in years past, this year’s TCRS Shrimp Summit will bring together an impressive lineup of movers and shakers from across the shrimp industry. A sampling of speakers who have already signed up to join us in Bali this June for the industry’s premier annual event is available on the website.
George Chamberlain, President TCRS and Shrimp Summit Chair says, “Producing a major conference like the annual TCRS Shrimp Summit is a challenge on a good day; a global trade war doesn’t make it any easier. Yet here we are: Recent U.S. tariffs are massively disrupting seafood supply chains, particularly in Asian shrimp-producing countries, where farm-gate prices are dropping. The situation remains fluid as the duration of the tariffs is uncertain and retaliatory actions and negotiations play out. While we expect things to stabilize in the coming weeks, the road ahead is daunting nonetheless. How the industry is responding,”
He added, “Already, the sector is working hard to adapt. Processors are rushing to beat shipping deadlines, farms are striving to improve efficiency, and the whole supply chain is bracing for the impact of higher prices on U.S. shrimp consumption. How can you find the best path forward for your business?”
The TCRS Shrimp Summit has a track record for developing practical solutions. The 2025 event in Bali, 22-25 June, is perfectly timed to provide the latest analyses and expert guidance. In the Global Markets session, Travis Larkin (Seafood Exchange) will lead discussions about the tariffs with U.S. seafood buyers Matt Livesay of Red Lobster and Eric Bloom of Eastern Fish, as well as other buyers from the EU, Japan, and China.
What will happen in the marketplace?
It is likely that the U.S. shrimp market will contract and pivot a portion of its supply in response to tariffs. Excess Asian volumes will need to be redirected to other markets. Ragnar Nystoyl of Kontali Analyse will evaluate global trade flows and domestic market sizes to determine reliable apparent consumption by region and seasonality. This will enable reasoned, informed decisions about investments needed to build new markets for excess volumes.
The Center for Responsible Seafood (TCRS) was known as the Responsible Aquaculture Foundation since 2009.
