The demand for seafood, including shrimp, continues to grow as consumers seek healthy and protein rich food options. Shrimp is known for its nutritional benefits, making it an attractive choice for health conscious consumers. Brown shrimp is one of the most consumed seafood in France, particularly in French seafood platters. Shrimp producers and suppliers are increasingly adopting sustainable and responsible aquaculture practices, which resonates with eco-conscious consumers.

Shrimp producers use water management techniques, such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), to minimize water usage and reduce the risk of pollution. Some shrimp producers seek certifications from organizations like the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Global G.A.P. These certifications indicate compliance with specific sustainability and responsible aquaculture standards.

The development of local shrimp aquaculture farms in France can contribute to a steady supply of fresh and locally sourced shrimp, appealing to consumers who prefer domestic produce. In March 2022, French startup Lisaqua secured 4.9 million euros in funding to establish a land-based shrimp farm with a strong focus on sustainability. Sustainable and controlled environments in land-based farms can result in higher-quality shrimp with consistent taste and texture, enhancing consumer satisfaction and repeat purchases.
