W41 Declining Demand for Indonesian Giant Octopus in Cyprus

Cyprus, a tourist island in the Europe region, has been one of the biggest buyers of the Indonesian giant octopus (species: Octopus Cyanea and Octopus Vulgaris). In W41, regular buyers of Indonesian giant octopuses in Cyprus showed no demand since the tourist season ends in October. Product sales and consumption will decrease, so buyers will not have the necessity to import or replenish their octopus inventory. Demand is expected to start again in January 2023.
