EUMOFA Study on the Challenges of Aquaculture Products in Food Outlets
Category:NewsThe European Market Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products (EUMOFA) has published the Study on the challenges of aquaculture products in food outlets, which was conducted following a request from the Market Advisory Council (MAC).
Several challenges have been identified for the farming sector to increase sales in the EU:
- Difficulties in increasing the volume of production
- Adaptation to climate change and scarcity of the resources
- Increased production costs
- Production and consumption seasonality
- Higher logistical costs out of the main flows (rural areas)
- Strong competition on the market, with an importance of price
- Low level of organisation in the sector
- Variable capacity for material and immaterial investments
- Presence of fishmongers and fish counters to offer a diversity of products
- Consumer preferences for wild caught products, but this is a side criterion
