LAST EDITION

387 participants from 41 countries

Mané Calvo

“As a sector we have to be able to attract more consumers and turn canned tuna into an attractive, quality product”

Grupo Nauterra

Arnab Sengupta

“There has been a shift in one end to value. The premium, double clean solid tuna is losing its share to 170g chunks, also there has been a growth of value added convenience driven salad tuna, which is more then double digit category share in key markets”

JMB International

Roberto Alonso

“The solid foundations of a sector with history and tradition, supported by innovation and technology, are robust tools that will contribute to the blue transformation to successfully address the current challenges and challenges that will allow the sector to grow and continue its leadership in the supply of an essential and nutritious product”

Anfaco-Cecopesca

Peter Trutanich

“The USA tuna market has seen a dramatic shift from the traditional “tin” cans to pouch sales during the past 5 years”.

TRIMARINE

Le Hang

“Exported tuna products are usually in the form of whole fresh fish, cut into pieces, frozen, canned... to about 100 countries and territories around the world”.

VASEP

Mehmet Onen

“Increased weighted distributions, everyday promotion strategy, high frequency TV commercials and digital marketing campaigns are the main drivers of the market”.

DARDANEL

Francisco Tiu Laurel

“The processing industry remains stagnant. On the marketing side, local demand is increasing due to the introduction of various types of tuna products into the market. Additionally, demand for pet food is also on the rise.”.

Frabelle Group

Alexis Jacquand

“France remains as an important grocery market for retailers and remains a fundamental stagnation for French households”.

Petit Navire

Ernesto Penas

“Not only are there a majority of sustainable stocks, but the trend in recent years has been one of stability, in contrast to the deterioration of many other fish stocks around the world”.
