Shrimp stroies: from slavery to our plate
The Guardian tracked how some of the world's big supermakets are using suppliers relying on slave labour to put cheap prawns on their shelves.
Thai 'ghost ships' enslave, brutalise and even kill workers are linked to global shrimp supply chain.
Thailand exports around 500,000 tonnes of shrimps every year.
It is one of the biggest exporters in the world.
From the total production, 10% are commercialized by the company CPFoods, a main source of shrimps in UK and USA supermarkets.
Globalization brings seafood from everywhere to our plates.
Nevertheless each of us is responsible for what we put in the plate.
People die because of shrimps!
Insane business.
Here the story in Portuguese.
