Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Processed Seafood Market

During COVID-19 all the distribution channels were not in service due to government restrictions and to avoid the spread of the virus. The unavailability of processed seafood had been witnessed in the market that led to a decline in the growth of the processed seafood market. Moreover, decreased fish price and other seafoods also lead to the declination in revenue during pandemic. According to the FAO Fish Price Index, international fish prices were about 3% lower, on average, in 2019 compared to the previous year. This was primarily due to price declines for many important farmed species, including shrimp, salmon, pangasius and tilapia, but also for canned tuna as a consequence of supply outpacing demand.
