A new shrimp processing plant, owned by the Chinese company Qingdao Zhongdao Food Supply Chain and operating under the name Ecuamarisco, has commenced production in Ecuador. This facility marks the second Chinese-owned shrimp plant to open in the country in a short period, highlighting the growing interest and investment from Chinese firms in Ecuador’s seafood sector. The establishment of this plant is expected to enhance local shrimp production capabilities and contribute to the export market, as Ecuador is one of the leading shrimp exporters globally. The move reflects broader trends in the aquaculture industry, where international investments are increasingly shaping local economies and seafood supply chains.
