Tuna Business Headlines
IN BRIEF
The Ecuadorian police recently confiscated three tons of cocaine from canned tuna and grain salt containers that were headed to Gambia. ‘Operation Gran Fenix’ was carried out last week after three years of investigation in coordination with the Gambian authorities. It was created to nab traffickers who were selling drugs to EU nations via Gambia. Ten raids were conducted in the Ecuadorian provinces of Guayas, Manabí and Los Ríos. Eight people — seven Ecuadorians and one Colombian — who were part of a criminal gang that sold illicit substances to the African continent and EU were arrested. The group had been detained in 2018 for the same offense.
The Ecuadorian tuna sector, one of the largest exporters of canned tuna to the EU and US markets, has been concerned about their shipments being tampered with narcotics. According to the country’s Federation of Exporters (Fedexpor), there has been a 41 percent rise in drug trafficking since 2021, costing the industry millions of dollars each year.
Chilean seafood group Camanchaca is collaborating with Spanish tuna producer Frime to market a whole new line of yellowfin products under the Pier 33 Gourmet brand in different formats in the US. The brand also feature Frime’s Koldfin logo. Camanchaca’s CEO Ricardo García told AQUA Media at the Seafood Expo North America (SENA) that his company is expanding in the US and has included new suppliers and items for this progress. He added that Frime’s premium MSC-certified yellowfin ensures consistency in the quality of the products – loins, steaks, hamburgers, and frozen cubes both for foodservice and retail.
Camanchaca also cooperates with Spanish KrustaGroup and introduced its seafood products during SENA a few years ago. Camanchaca is a vertically-integrated firm that fishes and processes seafood such as salmon, mackerel, mussels as well as fishmeal and fish oil.
The MSC and ASC recently published a joint report on Australians’ seafood preferences as part of their ongoing Sustainable Seafood Week held annually since 2018. Out of about 1,200 participants, more than half said tuna was their favorite fish. Salmon (55 percent) also scored the same as tuna followed by prawns (51 percent), barramundi (33 percent), and whiting (29 percent).
This country is one the most sustainable tuna markets in the world and the leading brand, John West Australia owned by Simplot, has over 50 references of ambient tuna products, all carrying the blue logo. MSC and ASC have also begun a Super Seafood campaign urging people to consume sustainable certified fishery products in the Australian market.
