Prices of unprocessed shrimp skyrocket

Prices of raw shrimp are increasing sharply due to short supply.

Tiger prawn prices in the Mekong Delta were up by VND10,000 (US$0.48) per kilo against last week, to the highest price within a year.

Twenty-pieces-per-kilo tiger prawn costs VND240,000 ($11.54) while 30 and 40 ppk s cost VND160,000-170,000 ($7.7-8.2) and VND150,000 ($7.21) per kilo respectively. Prices of white-legged shrimp also rose to VND125,000-130,000 ($6-6.25) per kilo of 40 pieces and VND110,000 ($5.29) per kilo of 60 pieces.
