Abstract:

North Carolina's shrimpers face hard times from foreign competition and the current economic situation. At the present time foreign shrimp account for 90 percent of the market. Smith discusses how the federal Trade Adjustment and Assistance (TAA) for Farmers and Fishermen program is helping shrimpers get through the hard times.
