LATEST TRENDS

A difficult 2012 ahead but volumes should hold up well

The increasing economic turmoil is having consequences for fish

consumption, impacting demand in the short term and supply in the medium term. But it is maybe worth remembering the impact of the

previous crisis in 2008, when trade values contracted during later part of the year, throughout 2009 and into early 2010. However, volumes held up quite well with a reduction in 2009 of global traded

volumes for fish of less than 1%. The reason, of course, is that fish produced will come to market, but at the right price. The supply

effect is more complex with fish farmers reducing planned production if prices get too low. Capture fisheries are normally more energy intensive, with the price of oil often being the determining cost factor,

in addition to product price considerations.

We are likely to see a similar scenario during 2012 with a strong consumer focus on value driving retailers, traders and processors all to demand lower prices. As usual, the producers will bear the brunt

but there will be new pressure to increase efficiencies throughout the value-chain. One likely effect is more mergers among processors and

fish farmers.

2012, therefore, is expected to be challenging as operators adjust to

harsh realities with trade finance and insurance also becoming more difficult to obtain. It still remains to be seen how the emerging

markets will be impacted; not all markets will be affected in the same way and during the previous difficulties most emerging markets

continued to show strong growth in both consumption and imports.

2011: China 10 years in the WTO

China, the world’s largest fish producer and fish exporter, is celebrating its 10 year anniversary as a member of the WTO. It is important to recall that the WTO sets the

overall framework for all international trade with specific rules on import tariffs, subsidies and the way quality and safety standards are set. The latter are particularly important for fish as import requirements on quality and safety have become the

determining factor in whether a country or a company is allowed to export to any single market.

For China, WTO membership has given it a more stable trade environment for its exports, at the same time forcing it to reduce import tariffs on a number of products,

including fish. As a result, China is importing increasing amounts of fish targeted at domestic consumption, in addition to the large quantities imported for its processing

industry and destined mostly for re-exports. EU-Morocco agreements to end

On 14 December, the European Parliament rejected a proposed extension of the EU-

Morocco fisheries agreement, saying that it was not clear that the people of Western Sahara would benefit from the deal. The current protocol will cease immediately. The EU has been paying EUR 36.1 million annually to Rabat in exchange for 119 licenses

to fish in Moroccan waters, 100 of which belong to Spanish ships. Morocco has now ordered EU vessels to leave Moroccan waters.

And Mauritania...

The negotiations to renew the fishing agreement between the EU and Mauritania have stalled because of disagreement over compensation to be paid by the EU to

Mauritania. The present agreement will expire in July 2012.

GROUNDFISH

Following the preliminary

announcement of TACs in September, the Council of Fisheries Ministers in the EU will

meet on 15-16 December to finalise the TACs for all species.

Spain is particularly concerned about the proposed 11% reduction in the Gran Sol hake quota.

At the beginning of December a

new agreement was reached between the European Union and Norway for the management of shared fish stocks in the North Sea, Skagerrak and

Kattegat for 2012. TACs for the various whitefish stocks were also set. While there is still cause for concern about the threat of reductions in the number of days fleets can

go to sea, quotas for 2012 for haddock, plaice and whiting will go up by 15%, and the

North Sea cod quota will decrease by only 1% to 26 475 tonnes. However, the ‘catch quota’ scheme will continue in 2012, giving a further 12% extra cod above the quota

to those fishermen participating in the scheme. The North Sea saithe quota will go down by 15% to 79 320 tonnes.

The EU and Norway will discuss a discard ban for these areas in 2012.

Figures provided by the Russian Federal Fisheries Agency show that fishermen caught 368 300 tonnes of cod in 2011, up by 10% compared with the same period last year.

Most of the catches came from the Northern Fisheries Basin, where almost all of the quota was caught.

In the USA, the Alaska pollock quota has been reduced slightly from previous recommendations and will be set at 1.2 million tonnes. The reduction makes way for

an increase in the cod quota in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. According to the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, the Alaska pollock fishery, the world’s largest sustainable fishery, has been certified by Global Trust as conforming to the FAO

guidelines for certification of marine capture fisheries.

The Norwegian North East Arctic cod and haddock fisheries have gained MSC certification. In 2012 the expected 340 000 tonnes of cod and 153 000 tonnes of haddock will be entitled to use the MSC eco-Label. The certification includes the

fisheries in the Norwegian Exclusive Economic Zone, from mid-Norway and northwards along the coast and into the Barents Sea.

FLATFISH

According to an FIS.com Market Report, incoming volumes of turbot in Spain rose

123% during the second week of December, after a rise of 31% the previous week. This is an increase of 35% compared with the same period last year. As supply increased, prices for all sizes declined. The price of small size turbot was below the

average prices reported so far, but prices of medium and large sizes were higher.

TUNA

The flooding in Bangkok did not significantly reduce canned tuna production levels during the

month of November. This coupled with much reduced deliveries of

raw material to the Thai market resulted in an increase in the price of raw material from USD 1 850 to

USD 1 950 per tonne for main size skipjack. Actual deliveries of raw

material during November to Thailand were less than 30 000 tonnes, far less than the average

60 000 tonnes normally delivered. Lower deliveries coupled with higher than expected production caused raw material inventories to decline to less than 30 000

Page 4: Season’s greetings from GLOBEFISH Staff · Season’s greetings from GLOBEFISH Staff . 2 2011: China 10 years in the WTO China, the world’s largest fish producer and fish exporter,

4

tonnes, equivalent to about 30 days production requirements or about half of normal levels.

The market is expected to remain firm as major fishing fleets operating in the

Western and Central Pacific are unable to fish in some of the more productive fishing grounds as few fishing days remain available from the PNA countries. The Solomon Islands, Nauru and Tuvalu have already closed their fishing grounds from 20

November until 1 January 2012.

Fishing in the Eastern Tropical Pacific was fair with prices remaining stable at USD 1 900 to USD 1 950 per tonne for main size skipjack delivered to Manta, roughly equivalent to the price of tuna in Bangkok. Unless the price increases in Ecuador,

there will be little, if any, raw material flowing to that market from the Western and Central Pacific. This is due to higher freight costs from the Western Pacific to Ecuador

than to Bangkok. Fishing conditions were mediocre in the Indian Ocean with little movement in prices

for raw material. Main size skipjack sold for about EUR 1 200 per tonne in the Seychelles. Yellowfin 10 kg up sold for EUR 1 800 in that market.

West Africa continued to be the lowest value raw material market with skipjack at EUR 1 100/tonne ex vessel Abidjan.

In Spain, despite low raw material inventories, skipjack pricing remained steady at EUR 1 200 per tonne and yellowfin 10 kg/up at EUR 1 950 per tonne whereas the

price of yellowfin 10 kg/up in Italy was EUR 2 150. Pricing for cooked loins continued firm following the raw material market.

SMALL PELAGICS

At the same time as the agreement on groundfish TACs, the EU and Norway set TACs

for pelagic species. The TAC for North Sea herring was doubled for 2012 and has been set at 405 000 tonnes following scientific advice. For herring and sprat in the

Skagerrak and Kattegat, the TACs have been set at 45 000 tonnes and 52 000 tonnes respectively.

The TAC for mackerel will be set after the negotiations with Iceland and the Faroe Islands.

In Denmark, sprat landings reported last week were 5 118 tonnes, down from 7 742 tonnes the week before. This reduction in landings is partly because of bad weather

conditions. In Iceland, fishing for local herring is almost over with a total catch of 44 368 tonnes

against a 46 833 tonnes quota. Capelin fishing is now the main focus but weather conditions are complicating fishing activities.

Fishing for spring herring in Norway is coming to an end as vessels are reaching the quota limits. The Ministry for Fisheries announced that the Norwegian fishing for

capelin in the Barents Sea will open on 23 January.

Norway’s exports of small pelagic species rose by 30% in November compared with the same month last year. Herring exports were up 4% whereas the value of

Norway’s mackerel shipments rose 75%. Overall for the year, Norway’s small pelagic exports were up 15%.

Prices for herring are extremely high at the moment with strong demand for herring fillets in Germany and Poland.

CEPHALOPODS

The winter season for octopus in Morocco opened on 14 November

and will last for four and a half months. The TAC for octopus was

set at 21 000 tonnes. The actual length of the season may be revised depending on assessments

of biological indicators made during the course of the fishery.

After a two month ban of cephalopod fishing activities in

Mauritania for the European fleet, the season was opened again on 1 December. The next biological stop will be between

May and June next year. In South Africa, the local squid fishery opened on 23 November. Usually the season

starts with good catches but this year landings have been poor, possibly because winter weather conditions have persisted longer than usual. Water temperatures have

also not dropped sufficiently yet to encourage spawning, giving rise to concern for recruitment for the next season. Prices have hardly increased and trading is almost at a standstill.

CRUSTACEANS

In Canada, the Fisheries Management Branch of DAFF

announced the new recreational season for West Coast rock

lobster. The season started on 11 November and will close on 15 January 2012.

Crab and lobster prices are

increasing as a consequence of poor weather in Ireland and difficult fishing conditions. This

situation may lead to high prices

at the end of the year as demand increases. Demand for the brown

crab, Cancer pagurus, is growing as buyers seek to increase their

stocks for the end of the year.

SHRIMP

According to Infofish Trade News, the seasonal demand for shrimp is showing signs of

improving as retailers are procuring products for the December/January sales. The market is still price sensitive, which will favour sales of vannamei and other shrimp

species that are in the lower priced categories. The flooding in Thailand is expected to have a negative impact on shrimp production,

particularly from the beginning of 2012. An estimated 10 billion cubic metres of fresh water poured into the Gulf of Thailand, diluting the salt water, which may affect the

next shrimp farming season starting in April/May next year. The EU has withdrawn its mandatory 20% testing of aquaculture products exported

from Bangladesh from mid November. Frozen farmed shrimp products were the most affected by this ban.

In the recent Coldwater Prawn Forum, held late November in London, the debate focused on how to add value in a market increasingly dominated by farmed tropical

shrimp. With catches forecast to decline over the next few years, interventions focused on how to reposition coldwater prawns as a premium product, the use of

certification and branding, and improving communication to consumers as well as to the trade.

BIVALVES

French Bouchot, Mediterranean

rope, Irish and Dutch mussels are now well represented in the French market. From early

December, Bouchot and Dutch mussels have featured in

promotional catalogues. Oyster prices are expected to rise by an estimated 15-30% as production

has dropped.

SALMON

Demand has been strong thanks to the low prices pushing quotations somewhat higher in November and early December but ample supplies from Norway have now

stabilised prices with a softening for some sizes. Recent bad weather in Scotland has also limited supplies. For this reason prices should firm over the next few weeks.

Norwegian export statistics for farmed Atlantic salmon for the

first 11 months of 2011 show a 6% increase in volume over 2010 to 746 600 tonnes. However, a

reduction in average export prices from NOK 39.54/kg to NOK

35.47/kg (- 11.5%) caused a fall in the value of total salmon exports to NOK 26.5 billion, or

5%.

Most of Norway’s traditional markets showed increases in their salmon purchases during 2011 including the EU market, which grew by 4.8%. France, the largest single market, was also positive whereas Poland, home of the processing industry, held back

because of the high prices earlier this year. Shipments to Poland during the month of November, however, were strong.

The US market, in contrast, was strongly negative for Norway because of the return of Chile as the main supplier to this market. China’s purchases from Norway were almost

halved during 2011 as new rigid inspection procedures slow down fresh shipments.

Of the emerging markets, Viet Nam has shown tremendous growth, buying 17 200 tonnes from Norway alone, or 150% above 2010 levels for the same 11 month period. The Japanese market has also increased its imports from Norway.

Norway’s exports of value-added salmon products dropped during 2011 with negative

figures for both fresh and frozen fillets, and for smoked salmon. To some extent this is a reflection of the high prices of salmon during the early part of the year but it also

shows that it is becoming increasingly difficult to produce labour-intensive products in a high-cost country such as Norway.

TROUT

Norway’s exports of trout continue to fall with volumes shipped during

2011 down 4% on 2010 to 34 300 tonnes. Average export prices were

also down almost 8%. 50% of Norway’s trout exports go to the Russian market and only 12% to the

EU.

FRESHWATER FISH

Freshwater fish prices have dropped because of the start of Christmas sales.

SEABASS/SEABREAM

The market for bass and bream is feeling the effects of the economic

crisis. Although a large part of sales are consumed at home, the restaurant trade is feeling the

pressure as clients turn to cheaper species, or to non-fish

dishes. Prices have been weakening,

especially for smaller sizes as many producers are facing tight

liquidity and are forced to harvest early. During December large volumes are imported and consumed by the traditional consumer countries, led by

Italy, but with no price increases so far. The question is more what will happen in 2012. With finance from Southern European banks now being tight, most producers

are likely to be cautious in their production goals during 2012. The Turkish situation is one to monitor; the domestic market is strong and most producers are in a position to increase output in 2012, but this will have negative consequences for producers in

other countries. In general though, prices are expected to firm until mid-year when the 2012 generation of fish reaches market size.
