Why this lane works for shrimp & prawn
Sweden buyers on this line are typically ethnic food importers, frozen seafood traders, mushroom and vegetable wholesalers. On the sea (reefer) route the consignment is 28-34 days from Dhaka, which for a product with a shelf life of 24 months at -18 c or colder leaves ample selling time on arrival. Supply runs year round, so a standing weekly or fortnightly booking is straightforward to hold.
Full grading, packing and variety detail is on the Shrimp & prawn product page; the entry rules and document set for every line into this country are on the Sweden market page.
