Temporary Fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillets Shortage From Chile Leads to Slight Price Increase in the United States Market During W44

In the United States market (US), the price of fresh Atlantic salmon fillets experienced a slight increase at the beginning of W44. This upward trend was due to a reduced supply from Chile due to holidays on October 27 and November 1. The two-day processing interruption resulted in a temporary decrease in Chile's offering. However, this supply disruption is expected to be resolved by W45. Prices for 2/3 lb fillets reached USD 5.40 to 5.55 per pound, while 3/4 lb fillets were priced at USD 5.50 to 5.65/lb, as quoted by FOB Miami.
