Elvis, do you see similar effects of El Nino on the shrimp market or is it different?

Elvis JohnGUEST
So in India, El Nino usually means a weak or erratic southwest monsoon and this can play variably across different regions in India.

Elvis JohnGUEST
Take for example, water scarcity in the east coast of India, which is a major shrimp producing region, often leads to rising pond salinity levels, heat stress, which could also step up the disease load on crops.

Elvis JohnGUEST
So in such scenarios, what we are seeing is that farmers respond by cutting the stock density, maybe delaying the crops or harvesting smaller sizes to reduce risk.

Elvis JohnGUEST
This is something that's similar to what Mariana told would happen in Ecuador, say the sizeability factor would play a bigger role.
