ANALYSIS: What India's Rising Shrimp Farmgate Prices Look Like Against the Seasonal Range

India's whiteleg 30-count farmgate price (ex-farmgate in Andhra Pradesh) has risen about ₹30 (₹435 to ₹465) since late June and early July, running through early August, against a dataset high of ₹505. The move is real. It is also normal, given the seasonal record.

The first large harvest of the year has wound down, and what is moving through the market now is the tail end of that supply. With demand holding roughly steady, tighter on-the-ground availability is doing...

After more than 140 years of unified stewardship, the Grieg family has divided the business ownership of the Grieg Group — separating the salmon farming interests of the Willumsen Grieg branch from the rest of the family and bringing in Belgian investment giant Ackermans & van Haaren (AvH) as a new co-owner and majority shareholder in Grieg Seafood.

Under the restructuring, announced August 27, the Willumsen Grieg branch will take over the group's 50.2% stake in Grieg Seafood ASA through the holding...

Ecuador's Shrimp Industry Calls for Trade Retaliation Against Brazil Over Prolonged Import Ban

Ecuador's National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA) is pressing the government to implement retaliatory trade measures against Brazil, nearly nine months after Brasília suspended imports of Ecuadorian shrimp over sanitary concerns with no resolution in sight.

Brazil banned shrimp imports from Ecuador effective December 9, 2024, citing unsanitary conditions identified during an inspection mission by its Ministry of Agriculture. Since then, the CNA says, market access has not been restored despite ongoing diplomatic engagement, leaving Ecuadorian exporters locked out of what had been a significant regional market...

Canada Commits $53M to Build Three New Pacific Salmon Hatcheries in British Columbia

The federal government has announced more than $53 million in construction contracts for three new Pacific salmon hatcheries across British Columbia, all developed in partnership with Indigenous nations and aimed at reversing steep declines in Chinook and sockeye populations.

The announcements, made August 25 by Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson, cover facilities on the upper Fraser River near Hanceville, in Prince George, and on the Kitwanga River in Gitanyow territory — each tied to a separate First Nation and targeting distinct at-risk salmon populations...

Russia Eyes Stable Barents Sea Halibut Catch as Far East Stocks Spur Two-Year Fishing Ban

Russia is targeting a further increase in halibut catches in the Barents Sea in the coming years, aiming to grow supplies to both domestic and export markets — even as a sharp stock collapse in its Far Eastern basin has forced authorities to impose sweeping restrictions.

The quota for Greenland halibut in the Barents Sea is expected to be set at 8,000 tonnes for 2027, pending final recommendations from the joint Norwegian-Russian research working group currently reviewing Barents Sea catch levels...

Canada Pulls Seafood From Counter-Tariff List After Industry Pushback

Canada's Department of Finance has reversed course on one of the more contentious elements of its retaliatory tariff package, removing fish and seafood products from its list of US goods facing counter-tariffs, less than 24 hours after the measures were announced.

The department said it made the adjustment based on feedback from Canadian industries, citing a commitment to continually assess the effectiveness of its counter-tariff measures, with a primary focus on sectors that have themselves been targeted by US tariffs. Seafood, notably, has not been...

Chile Presses for Salmon Tariff Removal as Two-Day US Trade Talks End

High-level trade talks between Chile and the United States concluded in Santiago this week without a final agreement, as both sides described ongoing negotiations over the 12.5% Section 301 tariff that has burdened Chilean exports — including salmon — since late July.

Deputy US Trade Representative Jeffrey Goettman led the US delegation for the two-day visit on August 24-25. Chile's government pressed for the removal of the 12.5% tariff across key export sectors, including salmon, wine, timber, and fruit...

Atlantic Mackerel’s Shifting Migration Brings Opportunity, Uncertainty

Atlantic mackerel’s once-reliable spring run north and fall return south has become less predictable since 2024, after a pulse of cold, fresh northern water moved onto the Northeast U.S. shelf.

Fishermen across the region report more mackerel in some areas, along with unusual appearances of white marlin, billfish, sand lance, Illex squid, striped bass, red drum and bluefish.

Researchers say the ocean conditions are highly unusual. Cold, fresh water entered the region in 2023 and kept conditions cooler through 2024 and 2025, a pattern...

The Retail Rundown: Grocers Make a Final Push for Grilling

Labor Day falls on Monday, September 7, signaling the unofficial end of summer and the last major grilling occasion before consumers turn their attention to school, football, and the fall holidays.

The three-day holiday weekend is a key promotional window for grocers, but the 2026 protein market presents a more challenging backdrop. Factors like tight cattle supplies and broader economic pressures are influencing both availability and consumer demand, prompting retailers to take a more strategic approach to promotions.

From a wholesale beef perspective, the market has become less favorable for retailers seeking promotional leverage. Choice and Select beef cutout values have climbed since the...
