Rabobank has published a new report on global seafood trade. Analysts say ‘We expect the strong rebound in the value of global seafood trade flows to continue through 2022 as the world emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic. Major markets like the US and Europe have fully recovered, while China is gradually returning to pre-pandemic import levels’. Farmed salmon and shrimp are the main drivers of trade growth.
