In the first nine months of 2020, Germany experienced a significant surge in the import of canned tuna, with a 33% increase compared to the same period in 2019, reaching the highest level in five years at 79,483 tons. This growth was largely driven by a rise in imports from non-EU countries, especially Vietnam, which became the market's 5th largest supplier, accounting for 5% of the total imports. The average price of these imports hit a three-year low at 3,909 EUR / ton. The Philippines and Ecuador continued to dominate the market, with the Philippines seeing a 20% increase in its exports to Germany, while Ecuador recovered its exports with a 51% growth. Papua New Guinea also made a comeback, becoming the second largest supplier, and Ghana took advantage of its import tax exemption to increase its exports to Germany. The article also highlights how the tariff advantages, such as the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), can influence export growth, underscoring the competitive pricing and market dynamics in the canned tuna industry.
