North American Fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillet Prices Rose for Third Consecutive Week

For the third consecutive week, the prices of fresh Atlantic salmon fillets in the North American market rose 2.8% week-on-week (WoW). The prices at the end of W51 reached USD 5.45 to 5.60 per pound (lb) for 2/3 lb fillets and USD 5.55 to 5.70/lb for 3/4 lb fillets (FOB Miami). This rise is attributed to heightened demand during the year-end holidays and ongoing airspace restrictions, as salmon contends with fruit and flowers for transportation to the United States (US) market.
