Webinar on Global Seafood Trade in Transition: The Impact of Tariffs, Production Costs and Consumer Demand
Bringing together global seafood leaders, policymakers, researchers, producers and industry experts to discuss the future of international seafood markets.
Overview
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.
Recent tariff measures and trade uncertainties have significantly affected seafood-producing nations that rely heavily on exports.
