shrimp processing industry

The shrimp processing industry involves cleaning, cooking, and packaging shrimp to prepare them for market. After harvesting from the ocean or farms, raw shrimp are sorted, peeled, and deveined, then cooked or frozen to preserve freshness. These processed shrimp are then packed in various forms—such as whole, peeled, or cleaned—for distribution to retailers and restaurants worldwide. The industry follows strict quality and safety standards to ensure the shrimp are safe to eat and meet consumer preferences. Overall, it transforms fresh seafood into convenient, shelf-stable products for global consumption.
