Positive figures for Argentina's fishing exports in September

The article provides an overview of the fishing industry's performance from January to September, highlighting changes in demand and prices for various seafood products. Despite increased demand for hubbsi hake, whole shrimp, squid, black hake, and king crab, not all products saw a price increase. The total export volume reached 405,555 tons, valued at $1,573 million, marking a 15% increase from the previous year. Brazil and Spain were the leading buyers of hake fillets, with Brazil paying a higher price per tonne. The United States emerged as a significant market, with demand for hake and other products increasing, despite lower overall export values. Conflict-affected countries like Russia, Israel, and Ukraine also showed strong demand. While whole shrimp demand surged, there was a decline in shrimp tails demand and prices, with the United States being the only market showing positive growth. Illex products also performed well, with over 90% sold by September, at a 13.6% higher average price. China's demand for Argentine shrimp, however, decreased, with only the United States and Vietnam showing positive trends in import volumes.
