Source of record

The underlying trade data is sourced from Global Trade Tracker. This dashboard uses the MASTER tabs in the country workbooks maintained by Shrimp Insights. Analysis, aggregation and visualisation are by Shrimp Insights. This first edition uses a dated import of those records.

Automatic synchronization is not yet connected. The import timestamp is shown above; workbook edits do not appear immediately.

Coverage

Imports show suppliers; exports show destination countries. The export view uses reported exports where available. Venezuela uses mirror imports reported by destination countries. Overlapping direct and mirror records are never added together. Records without kilogram quantities are excluded from export volume and value, with counts shown in source notes. Peru’s reported exports are available through June 2026. EU member-to-member trade is excluded from every view, including individual EU importing countries. The country selector shows direct imports from outside the EU; it does not measure domestic consumption or onward trade within the EU. Product categories use the bulletin classifications where defined, otherwise the source CATEGORIES and MASTER labels. A subcategory selector appears where the source defines finer product types.

Where source categories are blank, broader HS6-based groups are used; these are not invented species or product-form classifications. Category mappings were checked against the workbooks on 15 September 2026. Russia uses mirror trade reported by its partners. New market totals are checked against their MASTER rows; these additions have not been reconciled to bulletin summaries. Product groups describe customs classifications, not guaranteed species or production methods. National HS codes are not directly interchangeable between markets.

Calculations

Top 3 and top 5 concentration show the largest trading partners’ combined shares of the selected volume; partner filters also apply. Volume is the sum of source kilograms divided by 1,000. Value uses the source's USD field, including the EU's secondary USD value. Average unit value is total USD divided by total kilograms; it is not a market-price quotation.

Year-on-year compares the same months one year earlier. Changes are unavailable where either period lacks source months or the prior value is zero. Missing supplier records within an available source month contribute zero; this does not independently establish reporting completeness.

Historical charts

The annual charts show the same five calendar years as the monthly trend, ending in the selected end year. Date selections are limited to January 2019 onward. Older source records are retained only to calculate prior-year comparisons where available. Grey bars show historical reported totals and blue shows the latest year. For the latest incomplete year, a hatched segment stacks the projected remainder above reported trade: last year’s remaining months multiplied by the ratio of current YTD trade to prior-year trade for the same months. The calculation uses the latest available source month and requires complete current YTD and prior-year coverage and a positive prior YTD denominator. Volume and value use their respective trends. Average unit values are not stacked or projected. This is a mechanical scenario, not a forecast. Product categories and suppliers apply to both historical charts. Multiple choices are combined within each filter without double counting. Annual average value is weighted by kilograms.

Trading partner projection

For the selected end year, the scenario equals last year’s full-year volume multiplied by this year’s January-to-selected-month volume divided by last year’s volume for those same months. This carries the YTD growth rate through the rest of the year using last year’s seasonal pattern. The start-date filter does not change this YTD calculation.

A projection is unavailable when the required source months are missing or prior-year YTD volume is zero. A completed year is labelled as an actual total. This mechanical scenario is not a forecast.

Data notes

Early Chinese currency cells are blank but the source formats their values as USD; this edition interprets those entries as USD. Positive-value records with zero reported weight remain in value totals. No new currency conversion is applied.

The original four-market import was reconciled against 422 monthly source-summary totals using each summary’s original filters. This dashboard now includes all external suppliers and the products you select, so totals can differ from the narrower bulletin summaries. Source-data accuracy is not independently certified.
