Shrimp Stocks: Avanti Feeds, Apex Frozen Foods and Other Surges on India US Trade Talks Expectations

As per Moneycontrol report, shares of shrimp export companies such as Avanti Feeds and Coastal Corporation witnessed notable gains on November 19, 2025, amid renewed optimism for the India US trade deal. The potential tariff relief and geopolitical shifts have improved investor sentiments in these export-oriented counters. 

Positive Comment from Commerce Minister Sparks Rally 

Shrimp and seafood-related stocks staged a sharp rally after Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal hinted at positive progress in the long-pending India US trade agreement. During the Indo-US Business Summit in New Delhi, the minister expressed confidence in moving closer to a “fair, equitable and balanced” trade deal that could lead to tariff reductions on Indian exports. Such a development is expected to directly benefit seafood exporters relying heavily on the US market. 

Major Price Movements in Shrimp Stocks 

Avanti Feeds' stock surged over 9%, while Coastal Corporation and Apex Frozen Foods saw upticks close to or above 5%. These companies derive significant revenue from the export of shrimp to countries including the US, and the possibility of reduced import tariffs comes as a strong tailwind for their business outlook.

China’s Ban on Japanese Seafood Lifts Demand Outlook 

In a parallel development, China recently banned all seafood imports from Japan following escalating diplomatic tensions. This move has led market participants to expect a shift in seafood sourcing towards other exporting nations, including India. Indian shrimp exporters who also do business with China may see a demand boost because of this import gap. 

India-US Relations Remain Strategic and Multi-Layered 

Minister Goyal reiterated that India-US strategic ties remain robust with ongoing defence and energy agreements. He noted that negotiations sometimes take time but emphasised that both countries are working towards mutual prosperity. This reassurance adds to the overall market confidence in stronger trade relationships. 

Avanti Feeds Share Price Performance 

As of November 19, 2025, at 1:47 PM, Avanti Feeds share price was trading at ₹841.85 up by 9.77% from the previous closing price. 

Conclusion 

The strong performance of shrimp stocks like Avanti Feeds aligns closely with the evolving optimism surrounding the India US trade agreement and emerging external opportunities such as China’s seafood import ban. These developments could contribute to improved export visibility for Indian seafood producers.
