From November 24 to 26, 2020, the most important shrimp technical commercial event was held at the Guayaquil Convention Center in Ecuador. This event is organized by the National Chamber of Aquaculture to promote knowledge and innovation in the shrimp industry on a global scale. AQUA EXPO includes a trade fair and a scientific-technical congress. In the fairgrounds, hundreds of Ecuadorian and foreign companies congregate and shows the most outstanding of their portfolio of products and services. Topics of interest and importance for the aquaculture sector were addressed in the congress: prevention and management of diseases, nutrition and feeding practices, efficiency and technological innovations, growing diversification, genetic improvement, market trends, etc. Researchers and aquaculture professionals from all the world participated, presenting their most recent research and technological advances.
Nowadays the food industry faces food fraud, present in all chains and at all levels. Cases of mislabeling regarding the origin of the animals, species, even misinformation about the practices under which the food was produced. Unfortunately, this is not strange for the seafood sector. Greater transparency in the traceability of products is necessary. That way, consumers can make a conscious purchase, knowing first-hand what is the origin, production practices and characteristics of the product that brings to their table. Facing this need, Ecuador once again challenges the global shrimp aquaculture industry through the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP) initiative, becoming the first to provide consumers with information on its origin and traceability. For Norel, attendance at this type of informative and training events is essential to enforce and help to meet the requirements demanded by both the authorities of each country as well as the market and the consumer.
