Tunisian Seafood Exporters Temporarily Suspend Production on January 4, 2024 Amidst Low Blue Swimming Crab Landings and Soaring Freight Costs

Tunisian seafood exporters are temporarily suspending production on January 4, 2024, due to low Blue swimming crab landings in the winter season, causing increased purchase prices. The Red Sea conflict involving Yemen has significantly increased both low temperatures and freight costs for shipments from Tunisia to Asian countries. Exporters plan to resume production in late January 2024, but high freight costs may keep prices high until the situation improves.
