The 2022 winter octopus season in Mauritania has been postponed by one month, from December 1, 2022, to January 1, 2023. This is due to a request from the suppliers as a result of the large stock carryover from last summer, mainly in northern Mauritania, where octopus is primarily fished. In W47, there is a slight decline in the octopus price due to the ongoing sales promotion in the market to clear stock.
