Description
In this episode of Global Trade with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the surprising impact of a single anti-dumping duty on the global shrimp industry. They trace how a 2004 U.S. tariff on Vietnamese shrimp reshaped supply chains, created a boom in Ecuadorian aquaculture, and forced Southeast Asian producers to innovate or exit. With specific data on trade volumes, price shifts, and producer responses, the hosts unpack how a trade remedy meant to protect a few domestic processors ended up redrawing the map of the world's most-traded seafood. A focused look at the unintended consequences of anti-dumping policy in a multi-billion-dollar market.
