Análisis en el incremento de exportaciones de camarón en el Ecuador en el periodo 2021-2022.

Abstract

This degree work is carried out under the premise of identifying the current situation of the shrimp sector and its possible future scenarios according to the exports of the periods 2021-2022 in order to increase the information of this sector. It is important to highlight that data extraction was carried out through a non-probabilistic sample made up of data and information recovered from official secondary sources and international trade portals delimited by the population, as well as interviews with three representatives of the country's shrimp export sector. The interview was conducted with experts, among them the representatives of Cofimar S.A. Lanec S.A. and Omarsa S.A. A documentary review was also carried out to contribute to the definition of the situation through the analysis of documents from state entities as well as private companies. At the end of the study, the most important contributions contextualize a high participation of shrimp exports in the national economy, thanks to the constant development and positioning in the international market as a high quality product that is differentiated by international phytosanitary and environmental certifications, best production practices, and continuous research and development for the development of value-added products.
