3MMI - Salmon Market Update: High Harvest, Low Inventories
TradexFoods - August 30, 2021
The Wild Pacific Salmon harvest in Alaska has already exceeded it’s pre-season forecast as well as the Pink salmon harvest. Coho Salmon harvests have declined for three consecutive weeks with Chums seeing a very disappointing harvest this season. In the marketplace, products are moving quickly. Processors are even buying in the open market to ensure product for their programs and with that, processors are also taking PO’s in advance of fishing and pricing is subject to catch. Our Recommendation is to buy everything and anything you need or will need for your inventories
