On the basis of these data, we estimate that the value of shrimp consumed at home - in other words, shrimp sold by grocery and other food stores - doubled from $1.4 billion in 1995 to $2.9 billion in 2002, or from $14 per household to $25 per household. Lower-cost shrimp has been especially beneficial for low-income households. Shrimp consumption as a share of total food consumption at home for households earning $15,000 or less increased 45% from 2000-2002, compare to an increase of 15% each for middle income and high income households.
