Major markets slow, global demand driven by new markets

摘要

During the first nine months of the year, Asia exported almost one third of the total global tilapia supplies, which came to nearly 310 000 tonnes. In terms of growing markets, African countries imported a total of 80 000 tonnes of tilapia (mostly whole frozen) while the Middle Eastern and Latin American markets also continue expanding. In contrast, the USA, still the major market of tilapia, showed sharply declining imports.
