LATEST TRENDS

In Europe many people take their summer vacation in August and this is

having an effect on the European market. While it is still too early to see the

final outcome the 2010 tourist season, indications are that this year shorter

vacations have been taken closer to home. As a result, fish sales over the

supermarket counters will probably hold up better than in other years.

However the economic situation is still uncertain and this has had a negative

effect on seafood consumption in countries such as Spain, Italy and the UK.

Consumers in all markets are looking for value for money. The tourist in-flow

to Europe from elsewhere seems to be greater in 2010 compared with 2009.

In Northern Europe, the summer holiday period has less of an impact on

production than in the south. Already the supply of salmon from Norway is

increasing with prices softening somewhat, although salmon prices are

expected to remain at relatively high levels for most of the rest of the year.

GROUNDFISH

Surimi sales in the French readymeal market are strong, with leading

producers reporting a greater than 20% increase in sales. This indicates that

French consumers have regained interest in this product. As a result of the

recent economic

crisis consumers

became more cost-

aware and reduced

purchases of more

expensive seafood

products. Although

the price of surimi

increased

considerably in

recent years, it is

still an inexpensive product, which may

explain its

resurgence in popularity.

FLATFISH

Demand was steady in July with medium

sales. Nevertheless, some farmers are

reporting a biomass reduction that is

leading to price increases in most sizes. If demand grows as expected in southern

European countries as a result of the

summer season, prices will continue their

upward trend.

TUNA

Tuna raw material prices turned lower after leading tuna canneries in Thailand announced that

orders from canned tuna buyers were insufficient to fill production capacities in August. The price of

skipjack fell to USD 1 450/tonne from USD 1 700/tonne in July. This reduction in market value

occurred despite lower catch levels in the Indian Ocean and in the all important Western and Central

Pacific Ocean where fishing on FAD’s (fish aggregating devices) has been banned during the months

of July, August and September by the Western and Central Pacific Tuna Commission. In the Eastern

Tropical Pacific (ETP) catches continued to be disappointing for most fleets. The Inter-American

Tropical Tuna Commission’s two-month ban on fishing for approximately half of the ETP fleet started

on 29 July. Following Bangkok’s lead, the price of skipjack in Ecuador decreased from

USD 1 850/tonne in July to about USD 1 700/tonne in August. Yellowfin prices in the ETP continued

to be strong at about USD 2 150/tonne

FOB Manta.

Prices of tuna from the Indian Ocean also

softened. The price of skipjack in the

Seychelles dropped from EUR 1 350 in

July to EUR 1 100 in August. The price of

yellowfin in the Seychelles went down slightly to EUR 1 800, from EUR 1 850 in

July. In West Africa prices for skipjack

were relatively stable at about EUR

1 200. Yellowfin round 20 kg/up sold for

USD 2 450/tonne CIF Italy.

As prices of loins lag behind the raw material market, the price of loins increased to reflect the

previous month’s increased cost of raw material. Yellowfin loins double cleaned sold for USD 6 950

DDP Italy and skipjack loins double cleaned USD 5 350 DDP Italy.

CEPHALOPODS

The European market for squid remains

static at its current levels. Catches

continue to be moderate. The South African currency is strong at present,

which underpins the price, with catch

costs now allowing little profit.

CRUSTACEANS

Demand for shrimp in the European market is good with imports growing compared with a

weak 2009. Prices are also much higher

than last year, as a result of supply

problems in Asia because of the harsh

winter conditions with a corresponding

drop in production. In 2009 global

shrimp supplies from aquaculture fell for

the first time in history. European buyers

in particular are feeling the crunch as

the weaker euro has made the market

less competitive than the US market,

which is showing good growth at

present. The increase in the strength of

the euro in recent weeks has been

welcomed by the European industry.

Following several months of steep

increases, in general prices have levelled

off in recent weeks. However, prices of

black tiger from Asia are still increasing

quite markedly, particularly for large

sizes mainly because of limited supply.

Crab prices are starting to improve as a

result of increased demand and high

product quality.

European lobster prices are under

pressure because of good landings

particularly on the east coast of England.

BIVALVES

Overall demand has moved away from the main cities towards the coast and tourist areas.

Mussels: demand is good with prices slightly down on last year, meat yield appears to be lower

than expected at around 25-27% rather than 30% as previously announced by the Dutch mussel

producers.

Oysters: Mortalities appear to have stopped in France but the mortality level was particularly

high and the oyster industry is concerned about the future. There will be a stock shortfall for the 2010/11 season, which will mean lower profits for the industry.

SALMON

Atlantic salmon prices are easing

downwards after the high levels

reached in July. Supply is increasing

with the Norwegian producers now

back to normal capacity after the

summer closures. Additional supplies

are also coming to market from

Norway as harvesting is being moved

forward after the outbreak of ISA at

some farms. Recent outbreaks of PD

in Western Norway are also creating

concern as these fish had already

been vaccinated but apparently with

limited effect. Demand is reportedly

strong in all major markets. Prices therefore are expected to stabilise at present levels for the

next few months.

Chilean producers are slowly returning to market with some orders now taken for late 2010

delivery. 2011 will remain tight despite some added production in Norway, and Chile also

increasing its supplies.

Norwegian salmon exports statistics for January-July 2010 show exports reaching 500 000

tonnes (round weight equivalents), up 15% in volume from last year, and a 30 % increase in

value to NOK 16.6 billion.

The EU remains the largest market with 65.6% of Norway’s exports (value) of salmon in the

first seven months of the year. Poland, Russia and the US continue to show remarkable growth

but also smaller markets such as the Ukraine, Israel, China, Taiwan Province of China, Viet

Nam, Singapore and Malaysia are expanding quickly. Of course a large part of the Norwegian

increase is the result of the shortfall in the Chilean supply; however there is an underlying

positive trend in world salmon consumption with new markets showing much higher growth

than traditional markets.

TROUT

Trout prices in the Italian market remain surprisingly stable, helped to some extent by the high

levels of farmed salmon. On the contrary, demand is slightly weaker, a seasonal phenomenon

caused by the Italian predilection for August holidays. In Italy, as in most other European trout

markets, production is focusing on domestic demand.

Among non-European producers, South Africa is experiencing sluggish demand with

the domestic economy under pressure.

Demand from its export markets is also

weak with the appreciation of the local

currency against the euro making the

product expensive for export.

FRESHWATER FISH

Carp prices remain close to average for

the period. Sales and prices fluctuate with

promotional sales campaigns using discounts as the main volume mover.

SEABASS AND SEABREAM

Seabass and seabream prices are stable to slightly weaker. Demand is firm in all markets

except Spain although prices are under some pressure as volumes are increasing from the new

generation fish. Spain, though, continues to import from other producers such as Greece with

Spanish trucks making the journey weekly. Overall supply from Greece, the largest exporter, is

ample especially of small sizes

although recent transportation strikes

caused some minor delays in

shipments at the beginning of the

month.

Production of organic bass and bream

is increasing although lack of organic

feed contributes to keeping production

costs high. Most producers expect a

boost for the sector after the

introduction of new EU standards on 1

July.

In the Italian market, fish continues to be sourced from almost all producing countries. The

national product is priced at a premium costing at the moment EUR 1.65 per kilo more than the Greek product and EUR 2.25 more than that of Turkish origin (wholesale prices).

Russia is a promising and growing market for bass and bream, especially after direct road

transport from Greece has reduced costs significantly. Margins however are low for exporters

with the main benefit going to distributors but also to consumers in terms of lower prices at

the fish counter.
