New origins for Octopus vulgaris

With Octopus prices remaining high, either for fresh or frozen, in the main Spanish and Portuguese auctions. The volumes are being stable, aside from the lack of sizes bigger than 3kg. the Moroccan and Mauritanian markets are also becoming high valued in the markets. Octopus buyers are now turning their attention to the southernmost countries in the west part of Africa including Senegal and Ivory Coast, reaching already Ghana in their pursuit for the Octopus Vulgaris variety at a better rate.
