CBI market intelligence on fish & seafood – 2018

Our extensive portfolio of exporting fish & seafood to Europe supports suppliers (from developing countries) who would like to enter the European market. It provides up-to-date information and concrete tips.

1) In 2018, we delivered sector modules and analysed:

• Trends – key trends, specifically for shrimp, frozen tuna and frozen white fish.
• Buyer requirements – a comprehensive list of legal and non-legal requirements.

2) Our research on specific fish & seafood products also covers trends and buyer requirements. In addition, it includes an extensive product description, trade statistics, market channels and price information.
