Factors Affecting Price

  1. Net Weight:
    • The net weight of the product can vary depending on the glazing percentage (20%, 25%, 30%).
    • Once the product is fully thawed and drained, it is weighed to obtain the net weight, which should be adjusted according to the agreed water percentage in the product.
  2. Count or Size Verification:
    • With the product fully thawed, the correct size is verified.
    • One kilogram of shrimp (for whole shrimp) or one pound (for shrimp tails and value-added products) is taken and weighed.
    • The number of pieces in this kilogram or pound is counted, and the count must be within the established parameters (half +1 or +2).
    • For example, for size 60/70, the count should be around 65 pieces (66 and 67 are acceptable).
