IN BRIEF - FAO: Situation of the European market for Sea Bass and Sea Bream

EUROPEAN UNION
Thursday, March 07, 2024

Sales in January and February 2024 remained low, with weak demand keeping the market steady. Trade was slow in Spain’s Mercamadrid, with January volumes of 982 tonnes of seabass sold and 810 tonnes of seabream sold. 

Having stayed low throughout much of 2023, seabream prices have seen a strong rally, with prices for small- and medium-sized fish rising considerably, reaching EUR 5.93 per kg and EUR 6.30 per kg, respectively, on the Spanish market. Fish sold on the Italian market in February 2024 saw a similar increase of between 20–25 percent from January 2024 levels.

Meanwhile, prices for small and large seabass have kept close to the elevated levels seen in the latter months of 2023. Medium-sized fish saw a slight decline, with Greek fish on the Spanish market standing at EUR 7.75 per kg in January 2024, down from EUR 8.60 per kg in September 2023.

Trade volumes rose slightly in 2023, although year-on-year growth was below the levels in previous years. Greece, the largest exporter by volume, saw imports remain stable at 121 000 tonnes. Following a slight drop in 2022, Turkish exporters had a good year in 2023, with volumes growing by nine percent to 106 000 tonnes. Despite being a net importer, Spain has, in recent years, become the third largest exporter of seabass and seabream, overtaking Italy. The main destination for Spanish exports is Portugal; Portuguese imports of seabass and seabream from Spain have risen from 8 200 tonnes in 2021 to 14 100 tonnes in 2023.

IN BRIEF - 'Price improvements are expected in Spain for Argentine shrimp' (FAO)

SPAIN
Thursday, March 07, 2024

Cold storage holdings of Argentine red shrimp (Pleoticus muelleri) are low in Spain. 

In addition, demand is expected to be high during the Holy Week, which is traditionally the main consumption period for seafood in Spain.

These factors, together with on-land processing being lower than normal during this period of the year, are contributing to higher shrimp prices in Spain.

Except for the smallest sizes (40–60 per kg), prices of shrimp went up by EUR 0.20 per kg between January  and February 2024.

INDONESIA
Thursday, March 07, 2024

A delegation from Indonesian labor unions led by Serikat Buruh Migran Indonesia (SAKTI) recently concluded their visit to Taiwan. Their visit was aimed at advocating for more thorough inclusion of fishery worker rights in the Taiwan-Indonesia Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on labor cooperation.

SAKTI Sulut chairman Arnon Hiboran stated that he had worked in Taiwan from 2002 to 2015 -->

The delegation's visit comes in the context of ongoing negotiations between Taiwan and Indonesia for the renewal of the MOU, last signed in 2018. The delegation met with key organizations, including the Fisheries Agency, the Indonesian Economic and Trade Representative Office to Taipei (KDEI), and Forum Silaturahmi Pelaut Indonesia (FOSPI), an association of fellow fishers from Indonesia.

SAKTI Secretary-General Syofyan Rozali told the reporter that delayed salary payments are a major concern for many Indonesian fishery workers in Taiwan. He also mentioned cases where crew members did not receive insurance compensation upon death, emphasizing the need for better protection measures.

The delegation stressed the importance of adhering to international labor standards in protecting the rights of Indonesian deep-sea fishery workers. Issues such as the freedom of association, effective complaint mechanisms, free medical care policies for migrant workers, and communication rights at sea using Wi-Fi, were also discussed in the meetings.
