Negotiations for the Spring shrimp price were held in St. John’s this week. After two days of negotiations, FFAW and ASP have agreed upon a minimum price of $1.78 per pound.

This represents an 18 cent increase over the Spring 2018 price and the highest minimum price ever for the Spring shrimp fishery.

Thanks to the negotiating team for their hard work and input this week.
