Recent research has unveiled alarming trends concerning the exploitation of shrimp farmers in Asia, driven by the relentless profit-seeking behavior of major U.S. supermarkets. The findings suggest that as these supermarkets strive to maintain low prices for consumers, they are indirectly imposing severe financial burdens and unfair practices on shrimp farmers. This has raised significant concerns about the ethical sourcing of seafood and the treatment of farmers in the supply chain. Reports highlight that the practices employed by supermarkets not only undermine the livelihoods of these farmers but also call into question the sustainability of the shrimp farming industry itself.
