Fish in general and tuna in particular have been canned for many centuries. The three main tuna species that are canned are skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin (Thunnus albacores) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga). The main consuming countries are the EU, the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico and Iran. In terms of geographic origin, there has been since the seventies a decline of the traditional canned tuna production poles in the North, and the emergence of new production poles in South East Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the future, globalization of the tuna canning industry is foreseen to continue at a steady pace, both in terms of outsourcing processing into low labour cost countries and of further vertical integration and consolidation at retail level.

INTRODUCTION. Since its discovery by the Frenchman Nicholas Appert at the beginning of the nineteen century, the method of preserving food by heat and hermetical packaging has become a fairly well established process and industry. For many decades, this preservation method, sometimes referred to as “appertization” but mostly known as canning, was based on a trial and error approach until scientific developments enabled the emergence of its technological foundations and the subsequent growth of the food canning industry. Fish in general and tuna in particular have been canned for many centuries. Early reports dating back to the fifteen century indicate that Spanish people in Seville were already preserving tuna using boiling seawater and hermetical packaging. During the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries, Italians from the region of Genoa had already developed a tuna canning operation with processing and distribution channels spreading over to Sardinia, Tunisia, Spain and Portugal. But, it is in California around 1903 that the modern tuna canning industry was initiated when local canneries faced a decline in supply of sardines and started substituting them with albacore tuna for canning. Nowadays, consumers enjoy billions of fish cans worldwide, representing over 12.2 million tonnes or 24 percent of the fish processed for human consumption including over 3 million tonnes of tuna (live weight equivalent LWE) used for canning. The organization and structure of the tuna canning industry and canned tuna market has evolved over the years as a result of several developments, including: • • • •

the extension of tuna fishing to tropical and subtropical fishing grounds, initiated in the 1960s and accelerated during the 1970s and 1980s; the extension of the EEZ limit to 200 miles the progressive dismantling of tariffs and quotas under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the development of special tariff and quota regimes under various regional or bilateral trade agreements

As a result, tuna canning plants were moved progressively from the countries of consumption such as the European Union (EU), the United States and Japan, to countries close to tuna fishing grounds, or with low corporate taxes and/or to countries with very attractive labour costs. Also, the increase in tuna production and subsequent decrease in price of raw material in the 1970s, attracted new players to invest in tuna canning, especially from Latin America and South East Asia. Consequently, the globalization of the tuna production and processing industry has had an important impact on the tuna canning industry in terms of investment, technology, product developments, marketing and market access requirements. This paper outlines the major developments that have occurred in the canned tuna markets and the future prospects of this industry.

THE GLOBAL CANNING INDUSTRY 2.1. Technology The three main tuna species that are canned are skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin (Thunnus albacores) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga). Canned skipjack and yellowfin tuna are called light meat tuna because of the light pink colour of the tuna flesh whereas canned albacore tuna is called white meat tuna because of the white flesh colour. Canneries are generally supplied with frozen whole tunas from fishing vessels or reefer carriers, sometimes with pre-cooked frozen tuna loins and rarely with fresh whole tunas. The process of canning tuna involves several steps (Figure 1). Once the captured fish is loaded on-board, it is frozen in brine and stored in tanks filled with refrigerated brine. During the storage, the fish will absorb salt and care should be exercised to ensure it does not exceed one percent of salt in the aqueous phase of the muscle. Once the vessel reaches port, the tunas are unloaded from the fishing vessels or reefer carriers and graded by size and quality to ensure uniform thawing and cooking throughout the products. Certain controls such as histamine and salt levels are sometimes carried out before unloading and transportation to canneries. In the cannery, frozen tunas are thawed in cool water or in tanks equipped with water sprays, following which they are gilled, gutted and headed using mechanical stainless steel saws. After butchering, the tunas are sorted by size and loaded onto trays that are in turn stacked on wheeled shelf racks and taken to the cooker. In addition to facilitating the subsequent dressing operations, cooking drains water and gases from the flesh. If not removed, the water and gases will swell or burst the cans during sterilization. Up to 30 percent weight loss occurs during the cooking phase, which takes generally from 45 minutes to three hours, depending on the size and species of tuna. After cooking and cooling, the tunas are put on conveyor belts that carry the fish to the dressing tables where workers, equipped with knives, remove manually the skin and dark meat from the fish and separate the tuna loins from the skeleton. The dark meat scraped from the loins may be used to prepare pet food. The waste from tuna dressing is combined with waste from gutting and used to produce fish oil and fish meal in a separate plant. Fish loins or chunks are packed into cans and hot filled with oil, brine, spring water or sauce. Various flavouring and seasoning additives, including salt, vegetable broth, lemon, monosodium glutamate, vinegar, hydrolysed proteins or spices can also be added. The packed cans are then hermetically sealed, using a double seaming process, and washed. The double seaming operation is highly automated and some machines can seal up to 300 cans per minute or more for standard can formats.

Cooling and drying Packaging cans into cartons Palletization and storage Transportation and distribution

After the cans are sealed and washed, they are placed in a retort where they are sterilised using a time-temperature combination that will achieve a commercially sterile product. The sterilization process is also automated and involves three steps, e.g. heating, sterilization and cooling. The cumulative sterilizing effects of these three steps should add up to an F0 > than 3.6 minutes but often > 5-7 minutes. F0 is defined as the equivalent process time of a sterilization process at 121.1Â° C with a Z factor of 10Â° C. Z is defined as the increase in temperature that is necessary to reduce a thermal process duration by 90 percent.

After the sterile cans are cooled and dried, they are labelled and packed into cardboard cartons and onto pallets for storage and distribution. Cartons generally contain either 24 or 48 cans of tuna for home/picnic consumption or 6 large cans of tuna for the catering sector. During the last 10 years, many canneries in Europe and the United States have been increasingly supplied with frozen cooked tuna loins in order to reduce labour costs in tuna fish canning. It is estimated that around 100,000 to 120,000 tonnes of frozen cooked tuna loins are used yearly for tuna canning. The preparation of frozen cooked tuna loins involves

similar preliminary steps as described above. The frozen tuna is thawed, before being beheaded, gilled and gutted and cooked. Then, the side fish muscles (loins) are removed before being frozen and packed for frozen transportation to canneries. In the tuna canneries, the loins are cut into pieces for solid packs or chunks and packed into the cans. The rest of the process is similar to that of the whole frozen tuna. 2.2. Canned tuna production Worldwide data show that tuna capture has increased from 400,000 tonnes in 1950 to 2 million tonnes in 1980 and to 4.3 million tonnes nowadays, of which a major proportion, equivalent to 70 percent in live weight equivalent (LWE), is processed into canned fish (Figure 2). LWE of canned or precooked loin tuna is obtained by multiplying the net weight of the product by a conversion factor of 1.92. Figure 2.

Traditional canned tuna products are marketed as solid packs, chunks or flakes. They are conditioned in tins or rarely in glass jars, either in standard formats (e.g. 170 g net weight in the United States) or other varying format sizes in Europe (80g, 120g, 160g, 200g, 240g, 500g, 1 kg or 2 kg). Canned tuna for the catering sector is conditioned in 2 kg or 5 kg tins. Traditional canned tuna is packed either in brine (“au naturel”) or in oil (soy, rapeseed, sunflower, olive oil). In addition to these traditional canned tuna products, several value-added products have been developed worldwide over the last 30 years to adapt to consumer lifestyle change, requirements and preferences. High value canned tuna products comprise canned tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil, tuna salads, tuna paté, tuna in sauce, with herbs or spices, and specialty canned tuna covering products corresponding to specific tuna-based recipes, especially from Italy and Spain. The packing size is varied: 85, 100, 200 or 300g for home consumption or 1 to 2 kg for catering. More recently, flexible pouching has gained market recognition for tuna products. Several ready-to-eat tuna products packed in flexible pouches have been developed. These include tuna salads, tuna dices, smoked tuna fillets, spiced tuna, mayonnaise tuna, tuna in “sweet –

sour” sauce or whole canned tuna steaks, all packed in flexible pouches. The market for these products has developed mainly in the United States and to some extent in the EU, especially Northern Europe. For example, the demand for tuna in flexible pouches has increased by 120 percent in the United States between 2002 and 2003. 2.3. Major producers of canned tuna Figure 3 shows the evolution of canned tuna production worldwide. The United States, which used to be the main producer, has been overtaken by Thailand and Spain. These three countries represent the major canned tuna producers. Over the years the situation has evolved significantly to adapt to the expansion of tuna fishing into new grounds and tropical and intertropical waters. Figure 3.

As early as the 1960s, the tuna canning industry sector reacted to the expansion of the tuna fishing industry from traditional fishing grounds towards the inter-tropical tuna zones by delocalizing tuna canning plants from the consumers countries (United States, Europe and Japan) into overseas countries to benefit from low labour costs, the proximity of the fishing grounds and/or low corporate taxes. A first wave of canning plants’ delocalization was undertaken in the 1960s, initiated by the major firms in developed countries. Thus, French tuna firms opened canneries in West Africa (Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire) and California-based companies moved canning operations to Puerto Rico and American Samoa. Starting in the 1970s, further expansion of tuna fishing led to an increase in tuna supply and a natural subsequent decrease in raw material cost. This context, coupled to a sustained growth in demand, was favourable to the entry of new companies and countries in the canning industry, especially from Latin America, Africa and South East Asia. In South America, the modern tuna fishing fleet of Mexico favoured the development of a canning industry which targeted the domestic market as a reaction to the dispute with the United States over tuna resources in the Eastern Central Pacific Ocean, which did not enable export of Mexican canned tuna to the United States.

But it is in South East Asia that tuna canning experienced the most sustained development. This was favoured by the conjunction of investorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in canning operations in low labour cost countries and the interest in hard currency earnings by exporting countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. In parallel, an increase of tuna fishing by countries such as Venezuela and Ecuador attracted foreign investment, especially from Spain and United States, which invested in canning operations in these countries starting in the 1980s. Finally, a second wave of investment in tuna canning took place in Africa in the early 1990s as a result of the development of tuna fishing by Europe in the West Indian Ocean and by Ghana in the Eastern Central Atlantic. French, American and Japanese interests invested to build canning operations in Mauritius, Seychelles and Ghana as early as the 1980s. In terms of industry structure, the multiplication of countries where canning operations have been installed was paralleled by a concentration of canneries in the hands of few corporations from Europe, the United States, South East Asia and Japan. In terms of geographic origin, there has been since the 1970s a decline of the traditional canned tuna production poles in the North, and the emergence of new production poles in South East Asia, Africa and Latin America. In 1976, the United States produced 53 percent of world canned tuna, Japan 18 percent and EU countries (France, Italy, Spain and Portugal) 18 percent. These percentages have fallen in 2005 to respectively 13 percent for the United States, 4 percent for Japan and increased to 21 percent for the EU. At the same time, the production of canned tuna by new players has increased from 5 to 12 percent for ACP countries, from 1 to 31 percent for South East Asian countries and from 3 to 8 percent for Latin American countries which benefited from the generalised preferential system (GPS Plus, see table 3). Together, these three new poles of production of canned tuna handle around 51 percent of tuna canning. It is worth noting that the 6 main production poles of canned tuna are either consumption centers (United States, EU and Japan) or countries exporting to the United States, Japan and EU (South East Asia, ACP countries and GPS- drugs countries). The rest of the countries comprise mainly Mexico and Iran, both countries representing 85 percent of the canning centers outside of the important 6 poles. Both Iran and Mexico produce canned tuna mainly for domestic markets. Other small scale producers of canned tuna for domestic markets are Tunisia and Morocco Despite the expansion of tuna canning plants to different regions and countries, the industry is highly integrated and dominated by few multinational corporations (Table 1). These companies have invested in their production lines in various developing and few European countries.

GLOBAL TRADE OF CANNED TUNA. 3.1. Consumption Canned tuna has always enjoyed worldwide consumption because of its gustative and nutritional properties, convenience and affordable price. During the period 1980 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2002, world consumption of canned tuna LWE has increased by almost 85 percent, from 0.26 kg/caput/year to almost 0.5 kg/caput/year. In the years that followed, however, tuna consumption declined slightly (Figure 4). Figure 4.

(source: FAO FISHSTAT Plus). 3.2.1 Canned tuna export Export volumes of canned tuna has increased significantly over the years, from less than 100,000 tonnes in 1976 to more than 1 million tonnes in 2005, valued at US$ 3.1 billion (figure 6).

This includes export of frozen tuna loins used in canning. A decline was observed in 2001 due probably to the major crash in prices of both frozen and canned tuna. This prompted the World Tuna Purse Seine Organization (WTPO) to adopt drastic measures in 2001 and again in 2003 aimed at reducing fishing efforts or fishing duration to stabilise supply and prices. In terms of value, the impact of the oversupply and price decline in 2000 was much more significant (Figure 7). Figure 7.

The value of export decreased significantly in 2000 and 2001 but has since recovered to record high levels of US$ 2.7 billion in 2004 and US$3.1 billion in 2005.

In the late 1970s, export of canned tuna started developing with Japan as the main exporter to the United States’ market, followed by African countries, namely Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal which supplied the European market, especially France. Starting in 1981, new exporters entered the global market although Japan maintained its pole export position. In 1985, Philippines matched the export capacity of Cote d’Ivoire and Thailand became the first canned tuna exporter in the world. In 2003, the major canned tuna exporters were Thailand, Ecuador, Spain, Philippines, Indonesia, Côte d’Ivoire, Seychelles, Ghana and Mauritius. During the last few years production and export of canned tuna from Côte d’Ivoire have been declining because of political instability in the country. Data for Ecuador comprise export value of tuna loins. Also, significant increases in the volumes of canned tuna export were reported for Germany and the Netherlands, but represent probably re-export statistics of the EU intra regional trade. 3.2.2 Canned tuna import The importing role of major tuna markets remained mostly unchanged over the last 25 years despite the significant changes experienced by the main producers and exporters of canned tuna. In 1976, the main importers of canned tuna were the United States, France, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom. In 2005, main importers of processed tuna are the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Germany. Frozen tuna loins destined for canning represent probably an important proportion of the import data of Italy, Spain, France and the United States. Over the period 1995-2005, EU import of canned tuna represented around 57 percent of the world import (by volume) on average. Large retailers (supermarkets and hypermarkets) are the main distribution centres of canned tuna. They are highly concentrated, especially in Northern Europe. Some 10 large retailers control most of the distribution. Canned tuna is also purchased by the catering sector, supplied mainly by the Philippines and Thailand in Northern Europe and by Spanish, French and Italian producers in Southern Europe. Canned skipjack tuna is appreciated in Northern Europe whereas canned yellowfin tuna is appreciated in Southern European countries. However, yellowfin tuna products have been successfully introduced into Germany and the UK and a fair amount of canned skipjack tuna is distributed in Spain, France and Portugal.

Import of canned tuna into the United States decreased during the period 1991- 1996, mainly because of quality depreciation, before increasing again (Figure 8), the main exporters to the United States being Thailand, The Philippines, Ecuador and Indonesia (Figure 9). Similarly to the EU, US retailers distribute over 75 percent of canned tuna while the rest is absorbed by the catering and restaurant sector. Seventy percent of the canned tuna is made mainly from skipjack (light meat tuna) and 30 percent of the market is albacore (white meat tuna). Figure 9.

Distribution of tuna packed in flexible pouches has seen a major success in the United States (Figure 10) mainly because of its convenience for the preparation of sandwiches and salads. Thus, import volume of tuna in flexible pouches has more than doubled, going from 18,600

tonnes in 2002 (valued at US$49 million), to 40,700 tonnes in 2003 (valued at US$132 million), Thailand and Ecuador being the main exporters of this type of products. Figure 10.

Other major canned tuna importers are Japan (39,200 tonnes in 2005), Canada (34,700 tonnes in 2005), Australia (33100 tonnes in 2005), Colombia with 18’,600 tonnes in 2005, Israel with 12,200 tonnes in 2005, the Middle East (Egypt, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates with a yearly volume of import which varies from 6,000 to 31,000 tonnes depending on the country) and North African countries (Libya, Algeria and Morocco), with a yearly import volume which varies from 2,000 to 6,000 tonnes depending on the country in 2005). Canada is mainly supplied from Thailand and the Philippines; Thailand is also the main supplier of Japan and the Middle East. Italy has succeeded in securing a niche market share of high value canned tuna in the Middle East. 3.3. Market access requirement Over the years, the major import markets have developed comprehensive market access requirements which can be classified into 3 main categories: • • •

tariffs and quotas, consumer protection requirements and environmental protection requirements.

These requirements have been established mainly by governments and government institutions, although more and more access requirements and market-driven standards are established by major importers and retailers. 3.3.1 Tariffs and Quotas In general, tuna products are subject to import duties that increase as a function of the degree of processing applied for the production of the finished products. Thus, fresh or frozen tuna destined for further processing in the importing countries are generally not taxed, whereas duties are applied to processed tuna, namely frozen tuna loins and canned tuna.

However, exceptions to this general rule exist in the frame of preferential duty regimes that are either unilateral (e.g. Generalised System of Preferences GSP) or reciprocal (e.g. bilateral or regional free trade agreements). Unilateral duty concessions are generally designed to assist in the economic development of the benefiting country whereas the reciprocal concessions are negotiated between the parties to the Agreement. The EU market: Three types of tariff systems are applied to canned tuna entering the EU: •

• •

The Most Favoured Nation MFN (or erga omnes) applied to all countries members of the World trade Organization WTO, The provisions of the MFN under Article I of the WTO Agreement stipulate that “WTO members shall grant to each other’s products treatment no less favourable than that accorded to the products of any one member”. In other words, MFN tariffs are tariffs applied to countries without any form of trade preference. the GSP and ACP (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific countries, under the Economic Partnership Agreements, EPA) preferential systems and other preferential systems established under bilateral or regional agreements.

The most favourable tariff systems applied to tuna products, especially processed tuna, entering the EU are the system applied to ACP countries under the EPAs and two types of GSP Plus schemes. GSP Plus one is destined to promote sustainable development and good governance. It is offered to countries which demonstrate desire and capacity for implementing specific standards of human and labour rights, environmental protection, the fight against drugs and good governance as per the requirements of Regulation 480/2005. The main beneficiaries are from Latin America. GSP Plus two, also known as everything but arms (EBA) is destined to the least developed among the developing countries. The tariff concessions under each of these regimes are presented in table 3. Table 6. Tariffs applied to tuna and tuna products entering the EU. Duty rate percent Description

The beneficiaries are mainly Latin American countries. 4 EBA: Everything but arms for the benefice of the LDC (least developing countries).

In addition, following a threat for legal action at the World Trade Organization in 2003, the EU has revised import tariff quotas for canned tuna from certain countries allowing 25, 000 tonnes of imports at a duty rate of 12 percent in 2003 and 25, 570 tonnes at the same duty rate as from 2004 onwards. The beneficiary countries are Thailand (52 percent of the quota), the Philippines (32 percent of the quota), Indonesia (12 percent of the quota) and other nations (one percent of the quota). Furthermore, the general tariff for frozen pre-cooked tuna loins was lowered to 6 percent for a quota of 8,000 tonnes (2007), 9,000 (2008) and 10,000 (2009) according to the provisions of EU regulation 824/2007. Finally, special concessions are negotiated under bilateral free trade agreements (e.g. with Chile or Mexico). The United States: The harmonised tariff schedule of the United States has also special provisions for GSP countries and other countries with bilateral (e.g. United States + Chile) or regional trade agreements with the United States (e.g. Caribbean Basic Economic Recovery Act CBERA, Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act ATPDEA (which allows for duty-free imports of tuna in pouch from the area), African Growth and Opportunity Act AGOA. In practice, tuna loins weighing more than 6.8 kg (yellowfin) are subject to a tariff of 1.1 cent per kilo. The tariff is zero for SPG countries. Loins weighing less than 6.8 kg (skipjack) are subject to a 6 percent tariff but the tariff is zero for SPG countries except Colombia. Canned tuna in oil, including in flexible pouches are subject to 35 percent tariff except for the least developed countries which benefit from a zero tariff. Other types of canned tuna (e.g. tuna in brine) are subjected to a 6 percent for a quota equivalent to 4.8 percent of the canned tuna consumed in the United States. Beyond this volume, tariffs are 12.5 percent. Least developed countries benefit from a zero tariff for canned tuna in brine as well. Japan: Japan has developed a general import duty system with specific derogations and temporary regimes for specific products lower than the general regime. Likewise, Japan has special provisions for GSP least developed countries, in addition to tariff concessions in favour of Singapore as a result of the Japan-Singapore agreement for a new economic partnership. In practice, Japan charges 3.5 percent duty for fresh and frozen tuna, the general tariff system (not applied) being 5 percent. GSP countries benefit from zero tariff applied to their exports of fresh and frozen tuna to Japan. Canned tuna and fushi products are subjected to 9.6 percent but GSP countries benefit from a lower tariff of 6.4 percent for canned skipjack and other bonito species (Euthynnus spp.) and 7.2 percent for other canned tuna and fushi products. Least Developed Countries are granted zero tariff for all canned tuna/skipjack/bonito and all fushi products exported to Japan. Thailand and Indonesia, main exporters to Japan, benefit from the GSP scheme. 3.3.2. Rules of origin In order to ensure proper implementation of a preferential tariff system, the EU and the United States developed rules to demonstrate that the tuna products under preferential treatment come from the country entitled to benefit from the specific tariff concession. In the EU, rules of origin for preferential tariff systems specify that the tuna should be caught by the EU fleet or the beneficiary country fleet, and processed in the beneficiary country. A traceability system is needed to provide evidence of the origin of the product and its processing sites.

For the United States, the country of origin is the country where the product has been manufactured, produced or cultured. If processing in another country changes substantially the denomination, the use or the characteristics of the original raw material, the country of origin will be the country where the substantial changes have taken place. Evidence for a substantial transformation is evaluated on a case by case situation. Also, the country of origin can be the beneficiary country where direct costs of processing operations are > 35 percent of the value of the product. 3.3.3. Environmental protection requirements Over the last decades, global trade in fish and fishery products has developed in a setting of increasing influence of civil society and consumer advocacy groups over the agenda of governments, companies and international organizations on a wide array of issues relevant to food production and distribution systems. Increasingly demanding consumers expect not only safe and quality food but also a transparent and informative trail that can be used to trace the origin of the food, its quality, as well as the environmental and/or social conditions that prevailed during its production, processing and distribution. As the last link in the supply chain between producers and consumers, retailers have seen their responsibility towards consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; increase, resulting in a greater need for controlling regulatory and consumer demands to prevent any risk of damage to their reputation. Consequently, retailers have increasingly translated these demands back through the supply chain to producers and processors by developing process and product standards and certification schemes. Eco-labelling aims at using market based tools to promote conservation measures and the sustainable use of natural resources. In the past decade, significant resources have been devoted worldwide by the seafood industry to promote the purchase of seafood only from sustainable sources and several production and processing companies and retailers have built comprehensive food sourcing campaigns around sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood initiatives. These initiatives aim to tap into a growing consumer demand for environmentally preferable products, channeling purchasing power towards seafood products from fisheries that are managed in a sustainable manner and/or aquaculture activities and or apply conservation measures. By appealing to consumer preferences, the eco-labelled products may generate higher returns than those that either do not qualify for eco-labelling or those whose producers do not seek to obtain such labelling. Consequently, a number of eco-labelling initiatives have been introduced in the fisheries sector as market-based incentives to improve fisheries management systems and conservation measures. Eco-labels are certifications given to products that are deemed to have a lower negative impact on the environment than other similar products. Already several national, international, industry-sponsored, NGO-led and consumer-supplier partnership certification and standards schemes in the fisheries sector exist â&#x20AC;&#x201C;each with distinct criteria and assessment methods that have variable levels of transparency. Tuna fisheries have been among the first fisheries confronted to eco-labelling. The US Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), largely motivated by the high dolphin mortality rate in tuna purse-seine operations, established standards for marine mammal conservation and protection for the US tuna purse seine fishing fleet. In 1988, this Act was amended to include new regulations concerning US embargoes on yellowfin tuna and yellowfin tuna products from countries that do not have marine mammal protection regulations comparable to US regulations or whose dolphin mortality rates do not meet the US standards. Current

embargoes exist for Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Vanuatu, Venezuela and Peru. In 1990, the US enacted the “Dolphin Protection and Consumer information Act (DPCIA)”, which established standards for the use of “dolphin safe” labels on yellowfin tuna products that are exported from or offered for sale in the United States. Under the DPCIA, “dolphin safe” means that no purse-seine net was intentionally deployed on or used to encircle dolphins during the particular voyage on which the tuna were caught and no dolphins were killed or seriously injured. This applies only to tuna caught by purse-seine nets in the Eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. This issue was the subject of disputes introduced by Mexico and the EU in the 1990s with GATT. The dispute settlement group of GATT ruled in favour of Mexico and EU although it also ruled that labelling tuna products as “dolphin safe” and letting consumers decide whether or not to buy them, was not against GATT rules. Since then, Mexico and the United States have settled the issue by adopting, along with 13 other countries, the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program (AIDCP) under the framework of the Inter American Tropical Tuna Convention (IATTC). This programme comprises commitment by master fishermen to implement the provisions of the programme, the presence of observers on fishing vessels, the supply of regular information by fishing vessels and the use of certification systems. In parallel, the environmental NGO Earth Island Institute (EII) had developed its own certification system which has been adopted by several canneries to access the American market. The EII has challenged the definition change of “dolphin safe” under AIDCP and was supported by a ruling of the San Francisco federal court. The embargo on yellowfin tuna imports from Mexico was lifted in 2000. Mexico may export tuna into the United States but any tuna product accompanied by a label suggesting it is “dolphin safe” must comply with the standards established under the DPCIA. As a party to IATTC, the EU has adopted a “tuna tracking system” and a regulatory framework requiring tuna caught in the East Pacific Ocean to be accompanied by a catch documentation indicating the risk (or not) incurred by dolphins during tuna capture. Adhering to the EU dolphin safe scheme is voluntary and users can adopt either the EII or AIDCP definition of dolphin safe. 3.3.4 Consumer protection requirements Low acid canned foods (ph ≤ 4.6), which include canned tuna, have had an excellent record of consumer safety. However, outbreaks of food poisoning involving canned fish made unsafe because of inadequate handling during raw material storage, landing, processing or distribution, although very rare, can result in severe health problems, especially in the case of a botulism outbreak. Business-wise, it can damage the reputation of a company or undermine a whole industry. For example, a 1982 outbreak of botulism that caused the death of one person in Belgium who consumed canned salmon led to the examination of the entire 1980 and 1981 production records of the Alaskan salmon canning industry and a series of recalls involving over 50 million cans of salmon worldwide. Earlier outbreaks of botulism incriminating low acid canned foods in the 1960s led food control authorities and the food canning industry in the United States in the early 1970s to embrace safety and quality approaches embodied in the Code for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and in the HACCP principles. Likewise, International Organizations, under the aegis of the FAO/World Health Organization (WHO) Codex Alimentarius Commission

(CAC), and national food control authorities have enacted regulations that require mandatory application of these approaches which stipulate that: •

• •

canned food products should be prepared/processed in certified plants. The certification process requires that the plant meets minimal requirements in terms of layout, design and construction, equipment, personnel hygiene and qualifications and plant sanitation canning companies are responsible for developing and implementing a HACCP-based safety and quality assurance program national food control authorities are responsible for certifying canneries, approving and monitoring in-plant HACCP-based programs and product certification.

The major canned tuna importers have developed comprehensive strategies and working procedures to implement these approaches, using the Codex Codes of practice and canned tuna standards as a basis. 3.3.4.1 Institutional and regulatory frameworks In the United States, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adopted the Better Process Control Plan (BPCP) of 1971. The plan, a GMP regulation (21 Code of Federal Regulations, CFR Part 108 titled Emergency Permit Control and Part 113 titled Thermally processed low acid foods packaged in hermetically sealed containers became effective in January 1973. A few years later, safety concerns regarding the hazard of botulism in heat-sensitive low-acid foods that are acidified to permit less severe thermal processing requirements led the FDA Commissioner to add a separate GMP regulation (Part 114 for acidified foods) which became effective in May 1979. The United States’ BPC plan places the responsibility for the production of safe canned food on the food industry. The plan requires that operators of thermal processing retorts and seaming machinery work under the supervision of a person who has attended and completed a prescribed course of instruction at a school approved by the FDA commissioner (The Better Process Control School BPCS). BPC schools represent a co-operative venture between universities, FDA and industry. In the 1990s, the FDA Commissioner authorised the holding of BPC schools in foreign countries in Africa, Latin America and South East Asia. In parallel, the canning industry, through its professional associations in Europe and America conducts research to establish reliable heat processes and container closure evaluation schemes and advise the industry regarding technological developments and their quality and safety implications. The legal framework for HACCP implementation in tuna canneries is provided by the Federally Mandated Seafood Rule (21 CFR 123: Procedures for the safe and sanitary processing and importing of fish and fishery products, Final Rule, Federal Register 1995), which entered into force in December 1997. The Rule requires importers from the United States to ensure that foreign producers meet these requirements and have documentation and evidence for FDA inspectors to demonstrate that the requirements have been met. In addition, the 2003 FDA Interim Final Regulation (21 CFR Parts 1 and 20) was promulgated under the 2002 Public Health Security and Bio-terrorism Preparedness and Response Act. This regulation requires that domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture/process, pack or hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States’ register with FDA and submit electronically prior notice to FDA, at least 8 hours before the shipment is due to arrive into the United States. At the United States’ border, FDA examines food offered for entry into the United States through United States Customs, either prior to entry or after secured delivery to

importers/brokers. Importers, or their representatives, are required to file a notice with the customs to gain entry of each shipment of goods. Importers are also requested to provide to FDA, copies of customs entry documents, together with an invoice of the items in each entry. Recent electronic filing advancements are simplifying this procedure. Customs notifies FDA of notices received for all FDA regulated products. FDA decides which entries need to be examined and samples are collected accordingly. All imported seafood is required to meet the same standards as domestic goods. Products which appear to be adulterated, misbranded, or manufactured/processed/packed under unsanitary conditions are refused admission. FDA is authorised to take food samples for examination and investigation purposes. Each year, the Programme offices of FDA and the Office of Seafood at the Centre for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) prepare Compliance Programmes that direct the field inspection and surveillance activities. The Programme describes the product areas to emphasise, the types of product to target, the make-up of samples, the types of analyses to conduct on specific products, the analytical methods to be used, and the regulatory parameters to determine compliance. If during the course of the year, concerns about specific products arise, assignments are written to address inspection and/or sampling to investigate the particular concerns. FDA checks the standard of identity of canned tuna, labelling (including nutritional labelling), and economic deception such as short weights or specie substitution. The EU: Since the mid 1990s, canned tuna import into the EU has been authorised only from third countries which have a competent control authority that has been certified by the European Commission. The EU delegates the control of food safety to the competent authority of the exporting country, which in turn ensures that processing and exporting companies are producing safe food under a system equivalent to that the EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. When the laws of a third country are harmonised with the EU legislation, and systems to monitor and control food (fish) processing establishments and vessels are deemed equivalent, the exporting country is approved for export to the EU. Individual companies are checked by the competent authority and, if deemed appropriate, are listed as approved in a national register, with a certification number. This register is then passed to the European Commission which makes the information public via its website and other public documents. These are the so-called List I countries. Other countries that are in the process of gaining approval but are deemed to produce safe foods are included in List II. Shipments from List II countries are, however, subject to 100 percent border checks. Unfortunately for processors, these are the only routes by which processors can export to the EU. Even if a processing establishment is meeting international standards of safety and quality, it can only export if the country where it operates is recognised and certified by the EU on List I or List II. This has caused problems for qualified processors in several countries who then have to wait for the government to complete the process of recognition by the EU. During recent years, the EU has completed a recast of the legislation governing food hygiene and laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin. The scope of EC Regulation 178/2002 is very broad; it establishes the general principles and requirements of food law, lays down procedures on matters of food safety, and establishes the structure and role of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It also covers the basic concepts of equivalence and traceability. The new EU food legislation gives producers primary responsibility for the safety of food through self-checking and hazard control techniques. It integrates 17 existing specific directives into a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food Hygiene Packageâ&#x20AC;? of 4 regulations. Within the Package, regulation EC/853/2004, lays down the food hygiene requirements for products of animal origin, including HACCP systems and procedures.

Regarding canned tuna entering the EU market, the sanitary requirements during on-board storage, landing, transportation, processing and distribution are similar to those applied prior to the enactment of the new Food Hygiene Packageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The major additional requirements relates to product traceability. Regarding chemical contaminants, in particular heavy metals (cadmium, lead and mercury), the EU requires third countries to implement a monitoring programme of the fishing grounds. These programs, including sampling plans and analytical methods, should be approved by the European Commission. In addition to the certification requirements from exporting countries, the EU operates a border inspection system to verify regularly that its requirements are effectively implemented in the exporting country. It requires that all products of animal origin imported into the EU from third countries must be checked at an approved Border Inspection Post (BIP) to verify their compliance with EU requirements. At these BIPs, there are three main types of veterinary check on all consignments documentary, identity and physical. Documentary A documentary check is carried out on all consignments. This involves checking that the appropriate veterinary documentation (including the health certificate) exists and has been completed properly. Identity Every consignment is subject to an identity check to verify that the consignment matches its description in the documentation and check the health mark, which typically identifies the country and company identity. Physical In principle, a physical check is required on all consignments. However for the majority of products where import rules are fully harmonised a physical check is carried out on a percentage of consignments, 20 percent for canned tuna. A physical check involves an inspection of the contents of the consignment and may also involve sampling for labouratory tests. As a result of the checks, consignments may be sent for further testing. The professional judgment of the inspectors will identify the tests to be carried out, for instance, histamine and heavy metals for canned tuna. Japan: HACCP-based food control regulations have been introduced for some years now, including sanitary and hygienic requirements for fish handling and processing establishments and conditions for storage and transport, along with spot checks at the border and with the industry quality control schemes that often control imports at the source. The main laws controlling entry of food products are the Food Sanitation Law, the Quarantine Law and the Customs Law for labelling. Under the Food Sanitation law, all importers of food must submit an â&#x20AC;&#x153;import notificationâ&#x20AC;? to a quarantine station of the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) that a consignment is intended to be imported. Without such a notification, the imported food cannot be sold or used for business purposes. At the quarantine station, food inspectors carry out document examination and inspection to confirm that the imported food complies with the Food Sanitation Law. This will include validation as to:

Whether the imported food complies with the manufacturing standards regulated under the Food Sanitation Law Whether the use of additives complies with the standards Whether poisonous or hazardous substances are present Whether the manufacturer or the place of manufacturing has had a record of sanitation problem in the past.

Consignments with a record of non-compliance with the law in the past may be subjected to further testing. In such cases, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;inspection orderâ&#x20AC;? will be issued out in order to verify compliance. The importer is responsible for the cost of this inspection. Industry and retailers: Public authorities have been increasingly engaging industry in the implementation of good practices and providing the assurance for doing so. Control of food safety and quality requirements by food firms and retailers encompasses the implementation of Good Practices, Sanitary and HACCP plans. Many food companies and retailers have adopted other voluntary standards such as ISO 9000 for quality assurance, ISO 14000 for the environment, SA 8000 for social conditions or ISO 22000 which integrates HACCP requirements into ISO 9000. This has led to an increased use of global business to business (B2B) standards in procurement from suppliers, including for developing countries exporters supplying international markets. This trend has been reinforced by the emergence of global coalitions, such as the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and the British Retail Consortium (BRC) for setting food safety standards. The GFSI was founded in May 2000 as a retail-led network of food safety experts and their trade associations to enhance food safety, strengthen consumer confidence by setting requirements for food safety schemes and improve cost efficiency through the food supply chain. GFSI requirements address consumer safety and regulatory requirements, but also the requirements of certification bodies. The benchmarked food safety standards can then be applied by food suppliers throughout the supply chain, upon agreement with retailers, when defining contracts for sourcing products. Retailers and suppliers have the discretion to apply the benchmarked standards to specific products, and this may vary across countries according to regulatory requirements, product liability and due diligence regulations as well as company policies. Due diligence refers to the taking of all reasonable precautions to prevent an unsafe or illegal product causing customer illness or injury. In 1998, the British Retail Consortium (BRC), introduced the BRC Food Technical Standard to evaluate own brand foods produced by retailers. These standards would also serve to provide UK retailers and brand owners with evidence of due diligence to use in case of prosecution by enforcement authorities. The BRC standard covers HACCP system, quality management, factory environment standard, product and process control. Suppliers undergo an evaluation by BRC certified auditors who are recognised by an accreditation body. The standard has been recently revised in light of the new EU legislation and is claimed to be used in many countries worldwide. 3.3.4.2 Product certification All major markets for canned tuna have specific sanitary and quality product requirements. The sanitary requirements comprise defect and/or action levels for histamine, heavy metals (cadmium, lead and especially mercury), container closure assessment; whereas the

commercial quality requirements concern product presentation, appearance, sensory attributes, weight, packing medium and labelling. The type and methods of controls used at the border control points are based on the Codex standard for canned tuna and bonito (Codex Alimentarius STAN 70-1981 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rev 1995). Additional controls, not harmonised at Codex level, vary from country to country, therefore creating confusion and additional costs for exporters. This is exemplified by the control of histamine in fish in general and in canned tuna in particular. Histamine Histamine is a major cause of detentions and rejections of canned tuna consignments at the borders of major markets. For example, the EU rejected/detained a total of 77 tuna consignments during the period 2003 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2006, of which up to 37 percent represented canned tuna (Table 5). Table 7. Detentions and rejections of fish consignments at EU borders due to histamine. Year Total number of Total Tuna Canned Tuna cases Numbers Percent Numbers Percent 5 0 0 0 0 2003 32 23 72 5 15.7 2004 12 9 75 4 33 2005 27 23 85 7 25.9 2006 The United States FDA guidelines, established for tuna, mahi-mahi and related fish, specify 50 mg/100 g (500 ppm) as the toxicity level, and 5 mg/100g (50 ppm) as the defect action level because histamine is not uniformly distributed in a decomposed fish. Therefore, FDA considers that if 5 mg/100g is found in one section, there is a possibility that other units may exceed 50 mg/100g . FDA requires the use of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) fluorometric method. The EU requires Competent Authorities to take nine samples from each batch: -

the mean value must not exceed 10 mg/100g (100 ppm) two samples may have a value of more than 10 mg/100g (100 ppm) but less than 20 mg/100g (200 ppm) no sample may have a value exceeding 20 mg/100g (200 ppm).

Examinations must be carried out in accordance with reliable, scientifically recognised methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In Australia and New Zealand, the level of histamine in a composite sample of fish or fish products, other than crustaceans and molluscs must not exceed 10 mg/100g (100 ppm). A 'composite sample' is a sample taken from each lot, consisting of five portions of equal size taken from five representative samples. This clause, which came into force in October 1994, was under review in 2002, with a proposal to increase the maximum allowable level of histamine in fish and fish products to 20 mg/100g (200 ppm). In Canada, the level of histamine in canned tuna is checked by collecting samples according to the Codex sampling plan 1 (AQL 6.5) for inspection. Any sample exceeding 50 mg/100g will result in the lot being rejected with no right to re-inspection.

Finally, the Codex standard (Codex Stan 70 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1981, Rev.1 - 1995) for canned tuna and bonito requires that the product shall not contain more than 10 mg/100 g of histamine based on the average of the sample unit tested. Mercury Mercury is another contaminant whose residues are of concern to canned tuna. Both the United States and the EU have an action level of 1 ppm in canned tuna, but recent guidance from FDA and health authorities regarding the frequency of tuna consumption has created consumer confusion. In 2003, the FAO/WHO Codex Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), revised the guideline for mercury in fish to 1.6 microgram of methyl mercury intake per kg of body weight, nearly half the original standard of 3.3 microgram methyl mercury/kg of body weight. At the same time, the JECFA report emphasised that people should continue to eat a normal diet of fish pointing out to its many health benefits. Included in its consideration was a then recently released Seychelles Islands study, which analysed mother and child pairs and fish consumption for almost 10 years. That study determined that high levels of fish consumption led to no adverse effect to a fetus or a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neuro-development. Translating the recommended weekly intake of mercury into national maximum mercury levels in fish requires adaptation taking into consideration consumption patterns, other sources of mercury intake and other relevant information. However, public pressure often leads to consumer confusion between maximum allowable levels necessary to protect human health (set by FDA) and limits recommended to protect the environment (set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, EPA). Unfortunately, several media articles and public health warnings exacerbated consumer confusion and sent conflicting/contradictory messages regarding the health benefits of fish and seafood and mercury risks from fish to the point that local authorities in California requested grocery retailers to display signs cautioning consumers about the dangers of mercury in fish and threatened to sue retailers that did not abide. To restore consumer confidence, A EPA/FDA guidance was issued in 2004 emphasizing that canned tuna are safe for consumption highlighting however that pregnant women or women in childbearing age limit their weekly consumption of white tuna to one portion (6 ounces). These two examples amplify the need for a harmonised and scientifically based approach for setting up, under the auspices of the Codex, common canned tuna standards regardless of the market. However, it is worthy to emphasise that sampling and control of the final canned products, especially at borders, although useful, is insufficient to ensure that a shipment of canned tuna has no safety or quality concerns. These controls have to be strongly supported by preventative and well documented safety and quality assurance programs based on GMP and HACCP.

PRICES. This section of the paper will provide an overview of the price trends of raw material, tuna loins and canned tuna. It will also analyse the interactions between world tuna prices, supply and demand. Raw material for canning mainly comes from frozen skipjack and yellowfin. Thailand is the top global importer of frozen skipjack for canning, hence the Bangkok market is the barometer for world skipjack prices (Fig. 11). In turn, the EU is the main world importer of frozen whole yellowfin for canning which is processed mainly in Spain and, to a lesser extent, in Italy. According to the INFOFISH Trade News (ITN) price listings, skipjack prices were relatively buoyant in the period between 1987 and 1998, fluctuating around an average of US$900/tonne. However, excess supply caused dramatic price declines starting in 1998 and reaching an all time low at the end of 2000. As a result the World Tuna Purse Seine Organization (WTPO) adopted a resolution aimed at a drastic reduction in skipjack fishing to restore prices. The market was stabilised in 2001, but prices declined once again between late 2002 and 20032, prompting WTPO to intervene once again, which restored prices between late 2003 and early 2004. In the years which followed, prices remained high due to the impact of WTPO measures followed by a prolonged supply shortage of tropical tunas from the main landing areas (Fig. 11). Figure 11.

2 The so-called “Bangkok bottleneck” occurs when Thai canneries cannot absorb raw material supplies and Asian vessels keep unloading their tuna catches in Bangkok, thus reducing raw material prices even further. This happens mainly because Asian-caught tuna cannot be sold to ACP canners that are required by the EU to process tunas caught by the EU-ACP fleet only. The process is further aggravated when the EU-ACP fleet itself starts unloading its catches in Bangkok, due to oversupply in traditional processing centres such as Abidjan, Tema and Mahé.

Yellowfin tuna is more expensive than skipjack. Its meat is generally considered firmer and better-tasting than the latter. Yellowfin is mainly consumed canned in Southern Europe but also as sashimi in Japan and as grilled tuna steaks in the United States. In Europe, tuna consumers with good purchase power would generally buy solid pack yellowfin rather than skipjack. Therefore, yellowfin price trends display downward rigidity and upward flexibility, as shown by the yellowfin price curve in Figure 12. In fact, traders would not be keen on selling high-valued yellowfin material under a certain threshold, even in times of prolonged supply excess. On the other hand, in times of supply shortage, several EU brands would rather keep packing fewer quantities of yellowfin regardless of its price, rather than turning to skipjack to meet the demand. Yellowfin owes its popularity in Southern Europe to a series of commercial campaigns which have been promoting its image of quality, good taste and health. Similar campaigns have helped the progressive penetration of yellowfin in skipjack-oriented markets like Germany and the United Kingdom3. Since 1993, average yearly prices of frozen yellowfin in the EU varied significantly. The lowest values of 1999 (EUR1,114/tonne) and 2000 (EUR1,116/tonne) resulted from excess supply similar to that of skipjack prices during the same period. Instead, supply shortages generated the high prices of 1997/1998 and the escalating quotations of the 2005-2007 triennium (Fig. 12, source: GLOBEFISH European Price Report, EPR). Figure 12.

The use of tuna loins by canneries in Europe and in the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon. Therefore, the paper will only cover prices of loins between 1999 and 2007 in 3

Instead, in the United States, the image of canned yellowfin has been badly damaged by the tunadolphin issue in the early nineties and has hardly recovered ever since. Even yellowfin sold as tuna steaks is generally marketed as Ahi.

Italy, the top importer of frozen loins in the EU. Prices of yellowfin loins in Italy increased from EUR3,387/tonne in 1999 to EUR 4,345/tonne in 2007 (Fig. 13). Overall, raw material price fluctuations are somehow softened in the loins market, but the rising loin prices in 20052007 (Fig. 13) are a direct result of the increase of raw material prices which took in the same period as a result of a generalised decline in tropical tuna landings (Fig. 12).

Figure 14 shows the prices of canned skipjack chunks in the EU, origin Thailand, in US$/carton (48*6.5 oz). As in the raw material market, prices increased up to 1997/1998 and declined in the years which followed up to 2000. After the temporary recovery in 2001, helped by the first WTPO set of measures, prices started to drop once again until they reached an all-time low in 2003. The second WTPO intervention helped prices to pick up again. Subsequently, prolonged raw material supply shortages kept canned tuna prices on the rise in the months and eventually the years that followed, up to the whole year 2007 (source: ITN price listings).

The data presented so far are useful to build up a simplified model of the world tuna market, where: • • •

The demand of canned tuna is represented by the total imports (live weight equivalent4) of canned tuna net of tuna loins5; Supply of tuna for canning6 is provided by the total captures of skipjack as well as by the captures of yellowfin by the purse seine and pole-and-line fleets7; The global indicators of world tuna prices are the prices of canned skipjack in the EU and of frozen skipjack raw material in Thailand.

Live weight equivalent is obtained by multiplying the net quantity of imported product times the FAO conversion factor for canned tuna into live weight which is 1.92. 5 The FAO FISHSTAT database on commodities and trade is the main source for data on tuna imports. However, as FISHSTAT would not identify data on frozen pre-cooked loins among general canned tuna data, the authors subtracted data on reported United States’ and EU imports of tuna loins (sources: NMFS and EUROSTAT) from FISHSTAT data on imports of processed tuna. 6 Longline-caught yellowfin is mostly aimed at the sashimi market. 7 The FAO FISHSTAT database on capture production (http://www.fao.org/fi/website/FIRetrieveAction.do?dom=topic&fid=16073&lang=en) is the source of data on skipjack catches, whereas the FAO Global Tuna Nominal Catches (http://www.fao.org/fi/website/FIRetrieveAction.do?dom=collection&xml=tuna-nomcatch.xml) database is the source for data on purse seine and pole-and-line caught yellowfin.

Figure 15 shows how growing international demand for canned tuna generated an increase in catches between 1989 and 1998. In that period, prices kept their buoyancy because tuna supply, albeit rising, was hardly satisfying the ever-increasing international demand for this commodity. The breaking point was reached between the late nineties and the early two thousands, when international demand of canned tuna became saturated against the persistently growing supply; hence, the dramatic price declines that occurred between 1998 and 2000 and in 2002/2003 and the subsequent supply reduction interventions. Over the past years, tuna prices have been increasing mainly due to natural supply limitations. It seems that after a prolonged period of oversupply and low prices, the cycle entered a phase of lower supply and high prices.

CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK FOR THE GLOBAL MARKETS FOR CANNED TUNA. Globalization of the tuna canning industry is foreseen to continue at a steady pace, both in terms of outsourcing processing into low labour cost countries and of further vertical integration and consolidation at retail level. The demand for canned tuna is supposed to grow at a slow but steady pace in some traditional markets (Western Europe) whilst possibly declining in other traditional markets (the United States). A Healthier demand growth is likely to be shown in new markets such as Eastern Europe, the Near East and possibly China. The advantage of trade preference and tariff concessions enjoyed by African and Latin American countries is likely to erode gradually, giving Asian canning industry further competitive advantages. New players in the tuna canning industry such as Viet Nam and China are projected to consolidate their position. On the supply side, the current scarcity of tuna landings8 was behind the high prices of the last two years, although some analysts consider it an indication of a wider stocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decline. On the institutional side, should the stock status remain unchanged or even worsen, fishery policy-makers may be forced to focus on environmental preservation rather than on the support of fishing activities. The impact of environmental and social issues and the development of market-based standards and certification schemes, driven by NGOs and consumer advocacy groups and implemented by multinational corporations and large retailers, will expand further. International fora where trade issues are discussed, including FAO and WTO will play an important role to advance the international agenda of negotiations on many of these issues. These will in turn raise several challenges, particularly for producers in developing countries.

Even if a partial recovery of the landings has been recorded between January and February 2008.
