Abstract

This policy brief evaluates the implications of the US tariff shock across the entire value chain of shrimps and how to cope up with this enhanced tariff by the US. Our analysis highlights the urgent need for a coping strategy encompassing safety net for farmers and processors, as well as a diversification strategy for exporters. Such a strategy must examine trade competitiveness with major exporters, demand patterns in major importing countries, and both tariff and non-tariff barriers in key markets.
