Issue 1/2018 January 2018 LATEST TRENDS Index for prices

January is a rather quiet month for seafood demand in Europe. The focus has now changed to Chinese markets due to an overall reduction in European demand in the wake of the holiday season. Strong demand from China in expectation of the Chinese New Year festivities in mid-February will draw supplies way from the European market, where traders are reluctant to buy at the high price levels prevailing at present.
