The ninth edition of AquaExpo 19 opened its doors with more pride than ever on October 21st, given a strong political uncertainty that never put at risk the vigor of the Ecuadorian aquaculture and shrimp sector.
The show began as usual, attendees singing the Ecuadorian national anthem that this time rumbled the room and even some faces could be seen with tears in their eyes, due to recent events taking place in the country. José Antonio Camposano, President of the National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA) and organiser of the event read a message from President Lenin Moreno, encouraging the shrimp sector to continue to flourish, which is considered one of the most dynamic sectors of the country.

Later he referred to one of the measures best accepted by Ecuadorian aquaculture, which was that of VAT 0, proposed by President Moreno, with the aim of achieving a greater competitiveness in the sector.
On October 22nd, the trade show began with the presence of leading food, nutrition, machinery and technology companies. The stands of the different companies were crowded and, as usual at AquaExpo events, the event lasted until almost 8:00pm with a tremendous turnout, since most companies linked to the sector attended after the end of the workday in their farms and offices.
In the 2019 edition, Aqua Expo extended its exhibition area by 35 percent when compared to last year. This rendition had 6,500 m2 of business fairs, where around 200 companies participated, presenting their latest technologies, products, goods and services.
It`s important to highlight the great synergy that could be appreciated in the commercial area, where most of the companies were hosting their clients, suppliers and potential clients with great kindness ... There is no doubt that many projects were closed between them and new networks were established for many.
