Sinaloa, Mexico-based Del Pacifico Seafoods, which specializes in wild-caught Mexican shrimp, is launching a line of responsibly farmed shrimp and oysters at Seafood Expo North America, taking place in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., from 13 to 15 March, 2022.
Del Pacifico is expanding into aquaculture because “since starting the company in 2014, we have seen year-over-year demand for our shrimp across retail and foodservice,” Del Pacifico CEO Rubén Castro said in a press release.
“Wild shrimp alone cannot sustain this growth,” he said.
Del Pacifico Vice President of Sales Jennifer Barrett told SeafoodSource her company has realized 10 percent sales growth in 2020-2021.
