Octopus Catch Remains High in Makassar, Indonesia in W43

The catch of octopuses (Species: Octopus Cyanea/ Octopus Vulgaris) in Makassar city, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, is high in W43. The supply available remains stable at around 5-10 tons daily. On the contrary, global demand is not growing, which pushes prices down. European buyers are still waiting for the Indonesian octopus price to drop in the coming months to make purchases. US buyers are mostly stuck with old inventory bought at higher prices months ago and may consider purchasing only large-sized octopuses like 4-6lbs and 6-8lbs, which are not the main catch in Indonesia as the main catch is the 2-4lbs sized octopus.
