Global Seafood Trade
Overview

Seafood Webinar

01

The global seafood industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented transformation. Declining seafood prices, rising production costs, changing consumer preferences, and evolving international trade policies are reshaping global seafood markets.

02

Recent tariff measures and trade uncertainties have significantly affected seafood-producing nations that rely heavily on exports. At the same time, producers are facing increasing costs for feed, energy, labour, transportation, and compliance with sustainability and traceability requirements. These challenges are putting considerable pressure on profitability across the seafood value chain.

03

This webinar will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, economists, researchers, seafood producers, exporters, retailers, and technology providers to discuss the latest market developments, assess emerging risks, and explore practical strategies for building a more resilient and competitive global seafood industry.
