Today's commercial lenders require more information in evaluating loan requests than ever before. This occasionally presents a problem in the shrimp processing and marketing industry, where the information base for commercial fisheries is small and fragmented when compared with other sectors. This report summarizes current trends and conditions, and compares 1991 data with those of prior years. It describes contemporary operational practices of shoreside facilities, and assesses inventory values based on fluctuating prices. Specifically, the report focuses on the two broad areas of production history from both long- and short-term viewpoints and marketing conditions confronting processing interests.
