The Shrimper Craig Craig Reaves of South Carolina explains how President Donald Trump’s prices can benefit the shrimp industry on “America Reports”.
A Southern Carolina Shrimper told Fox News on Friday that President Donald Trump’s prices will provide “immediate relief” to a shrimp industry which has been “killed by imports” for decades.
The owner of CJ Seafood, Craig Reaves, told “America reports” that a large part of the industry was outsourced in Southeast Asia, Ecuador, India and South America, while American fishing was “crushed”.
“I am a lifetime. My father was a shrimp, so we are generational fishermen, and we have been killed by imports for not only years, but literally decades,” said Reaves. “So we have been suffering for a very, a very long time, and these prices, we think, will relieve ourselves immediately. In addition, it draws attention to our industrywho is dying. We have outsourced our entire industry. Eighty-four percent of the shrimp consumed in the United States are imported. “”

Reaves said that shrimps imported from other countries are not necessarily raised in better environments than shrimp in the United States.
“These are a high and high product. They do not care about the environment in Southeast Asia,” he said. “They destroy ecosystems, mangroves to put in these ponds. They use illegal hormones and antibiotics. They use forced work, slave work. All these things are documented. So, it is absolutely not a good product. The difference is, it is cheaper. Something that we do not try to mark.”

Caroline du Sud corporate owner explained that the realization of Industry requirements Locally, would not be possible due to a lost infrastructure, but he hopes that “help is on the way”.
“In the seafood industry, we have been destroyed for decades,” he said. “So we live under pressure and pain, and I think this short-term pain is worth it if we can save our industry. Unfortunately, we have externalized the United States too much. We have to bring it home.”
