The international tuna trade recovered in the first three-quarters of 2024, with a 20% increase in imports reaching 3 million tons and a value of US$11.86 billion compared to the same period in 2023. This surge is attributed to the rising demand for ready-to-eat tuna and semi-processed cooked fish fillets. However, global tuna catches were unstable in the second half of 2024 due to fishing bans and holidays. The market dynamics varied by region, with the demand for non-canned tuna growing in the United States, and Europe experiencing stagnant trade during the year-end holidays. Prices remained stable or increased slightly in some areas, and Thailand emerged as the world's largest exporter of ready-to-eat tuna, with significant growth in exports.
