A newly formed executive committee will guide the council’s agenda. The committee includes representatives from Sea Port Products, Contessa Food Products, Inc., Censea Inc., Mazzetta Company LLC and Rich Products Corporation, will serve a two-year term.According to Bill Dresser, Shrimp Council chairman, the group has focused on marketing for several years, but will now have a dual purpose.
“The Shrimp Council’s public relations and social media campaign is effective and will continue to be a major focus, however the council will also address industry issues related to shrimp,” said Dresser. “Shrimp Council members want to make sure superior shrimp is available in the U.S. marketplace. We need to take a stronger leadership role on best practices, social issues and scientific research.”
Dresser said the executive committee’s initial meeting will include discussion of moisture retention agents, early mortality syndrome and the CVD Case.
