Tilapia Market Report -
April 2008
Last year, imports of tilapia into the US market grew by 35%. All of this expansion is based
on increased imports from China. However, the cold winter weather in recent months has wiped out large populations of tilapia in this
country.
It remains to be seen whether China will be able to continue to export large, and increasing, quantities of tilapia to the
world market. Already the market has reacted with a 20% import price increase for tilapia in the USA. The intense and long winter
is reported to have badly affected tilapia production in China. Observers estimate that production could have dropped by as much as
80%. Tilapia traders worldwide forecast a significant scarcity this year, which could last for 8-12 months. Subsequently, prices have
started to rise. Chinese exports of tilapia to certain African markets may be affected until the situation improves. Click here for
