Shrimp supply chain Thailand, Ecuador, India to LA

Based on the provided sources, no specific LA Vietnamese, Thai, or Filipino restaurants that explicitly source from fair-labor-certified suppliers are identified. The sources do not list individual restaurants or their sourcing practices.

Regarding certified fair-labor shrimp cost vs. commodity: the sources do not provide any pricing data (e.g., cost per pound or price comparison) for Fair Trade-certified shrimp versus commodity shrimp. The only relevant information is that Chicken of the Sea Frozen Foods (a Thai Union subsidiary) is the top U.S. importer of Fair Trade-certified shrimp, bringing in about 10 million pounds of frozen shrimp monthly, and that this certification is the first of its kind for seafood in India ^[2]. The sources also mention that nearly three-quarters of food executives and buyers surveyed saw increased demand for sustainably sourced products ^[2], but no cost figures are given.

To answer the question fully, one would need: - A list or directory of LA-area Vietnamese, Thai, and Filipino restaurants that publicly commit to fair-labor-certified shrimp sourcing. - Wholesale or retail price data for Fair Trade-certified shrimp compared to conventional commodity shrimp.
