“I think that there has to be a better understanding between the processors and the shrimpers about things going on in the marketplace that create these types of changes,” said Pearce.
The Louisiana Shrimpers Association says they are in talks with the processors and they are working to figure out ways everyone can make money.
Pearce says the two need to keep chatting with each other about this.
“Each other needs to understand the other better,” said Pearce. “There has always been this gap between shrimpers and processors to see who can make more money than the other, but they really need to sit down at the table and talk more.”
