The new joint venture will take over and upgrade the existing Macrobio hatchery in the west of the Ecuador, and will turn it into a state-of-the-art production facility that develops a world-class shrimp breeding program. They will use the most advanced genetics and breeding technologies, with nutritional solutions provided by Skretting.

This new company aims to increase the competitiveness of the Ecuadorian shrimp industry in a sustainable way. It is expected that Ecuador’s shrimp sector will grow at around 5-7 percent per year over the next seven years.

“Our strategy for the coming years is to invest in innovative projects in the value chain that support sustainable market growth,” explained Nutreco CEO Rob Koremans. “We’re delighted that today’s announcement will promote the sustainable growth of shrimp farming in Ecuador, a key market for our aquaculture division Skretting.”

The most important species produced is the Pacific whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), whose production volumes rose significantly in recent years, placing Ecuador at the third largest producer after China and India.

Nutreco stresses it will be a major commercial initiative in the country. The combination of Nutreco’s strengths with those of its co-investors, will make it possible to grow healthier, higher quality shrimp to meet this rising demand.

“Through this partnership, we plan to produce a disease-resistant animal to keep the Ecuadorian shrimp industry antibiotic free and with improved growth so farmers can optimize land use and produce more with less,” said Skretting Ecuador general manager, Carlos Miranda Illingworth. 

Skretting is currently building a new production facility in Ecuador as proof of its commitment for the country to ramp up its sustainable shrimp production. The facility, which will use state-of-the art innovation in feed production and nutrition, will be completed in 2019.
