Hit by The Dollar's new peak
Tuesday, December 23, 2014
THE jump in prices for his products meant Puang Kasau could no longer wait to harvest his current batch of vannamei shrimp. Raised in a three-hectare pond in Pinrang, South Sulawesi, the shrimp are collected for sale three times a year. On Monday last week, Puang succeeded in selling half a ton of size-46 shrimp, which are big enough that one kilogram contains 46 of them. This time, his shrimp fetched Rp52,600 per kilogram, an increase from their price of Rp48,000 two weeks earlier.
Baharuddin, another Pinrang shrimp farmer, has also reaped the benefits of higher prices. His giant tiger shrimp used to sell for Rp105,000 per kilogram, but last week they were going for Rp125,000 a kilogram.
