Prawns are often costly due to several factors, including the high demand for seafood and the labor-intensive nature of their farming and harvesting. Additionally, environmental regulations and the need for sustainable practices can increase production costs. Moreover, prawns are typically imported from regions where they are farmed or caught, adding shipping and handling expenses. Finally, factors such as seasonal availability and market fluctuations can also drive up prices.
