🦐 Argentine Red Shrimp Monthly Landings Dataset 1989–2025

🦐 Argentine Red Shrimp Monthly Landings Dataset 1989–2025
(37-Year Time Series with Market Mini-Report)
Released March 2026

Argentine red shrimp (Pleoticus muelleri) is one of the most important wild shrimp species in the global seafood trade. Argentina accounts for the vast majority of global landings of this species, and it plays a critical role in supplying premium head-on and headless shrimp products to Europe and Asia.

This dataset provides a continuous 37-year monthly time series (1989–2025) of Argentine red shrimp landings compiled from official Argentine government statistics. It enables users to analyze long-term production cycles, seasonality, structural shifts in fishing activity, and supply trends with a level of historical depth rarely available in a consolidated, ready-to-use format in international databases.

While annual production figures are sometimes reported in global datasets, structured monthly historical data spanning nearly four decades is difficult to obtain in a clean format suitable for quantitative analysis. We collect, standardize, and organize the official statistics into a structured Excel dataset with standardized year-month time indexing optimized for quantitative analysis, reducing the time required for data collection and preprocessing.

In addition to the dataset, a concise market mini-report explains Argentina’s fishing structure, grading system, export orientation, and recent seasonal market developments (2024–2025).
