Explain how imported shrimp can be cheaper in LA?

I understand in North Dakota or something but stores should be able to buy them basically off the boat.

Diesel is about 3.20 a gallon in Thailand right now and the average yearly salary for a commercial fisherman is $7k USD.

Diesel in California is $6 a gallon and the average salary is 70k USD.

I just picked Thailand because it came to mind. But factor in the concept above and with fewer regulations telling you what you can and can’t do, cost of acquisition is likely much cheaper to the point it offsets shipping costs.
