Mauritania’s Winter Octopus Season Is Postponed to January 2023 Due to an Abundance of Unsold Stock

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.
