Description

---

This detailed quarterly update on market trends for a variety of major commodities combines the price information collected for the European Price Report with other market survey data collected by FAO GLOBEFISH. Key market data is presented in both graphic and narrative form, covering trends, key events and news affecting commodities such as tuna, groundfish, small pelagics, shrimp, salmon, fishmeal and fish oil, cephalopods, bivalves and crustacea. Since 1984, the FAO GLOBEFISH project has been providing governments and other national and international stakeholders with relevant data, information and knowledge on fish trade in order to support the design and implementation of efficient and inclusive market and trade strategies. These strategies contribute to the sustainable development of the fish trade sector (including the economic, social and environmental aspects) while also contributing to improving food and nutrition security and strengthening livelihood opportunities.
