Seafood processors in China are cutting their production by at least 30 percent this summer due to weak demand from Europe and the U.S., as reported by David Jiang of Unibond Seafood International Ltd. Chinese consumers are also not showing interest in products like cod, haddock, and pollock. Additionally, imports of pollock from Russia to China decreased by 3 percent in the first half of 2024, with Russian fishing companies redirecting exports to China and Japan because of U.S. sanctions. This redirection has led Russian pollock catchers to focus more on their domestic market, a development welcomed by the U.S. pollock industry as it could raise global prices by reducing the availability of Russian pollock.
