Undercurrent News is proposing the implementation of weekly US wholesale price reporting for fresh Mediterranean seabass (branzino) and Mediterranean seabream (dorade), sourced from key global suppliers.
This initiative aims to deliver enhanced market transparency and data-backed benchmarks for these growing specialty whitefish segments, and it complements our expanding portfolio of seafood price assessments.
The UCN price assessments will represent products from the most significant trade partners to the US and reflect spot market trade from the importer to the first receiver.
Sample proposed product coverage:
Pricing basis: The proposed pricing assessments will be based on FOB East Coast pricing, $/pound basis, reflecting values from importers to first receivers in the US market. These assessments will provide an accurate benchmark for trade, ensuring transparency and consistency in wholesale pricing.
Quotation series: Pricing structures will be aligned with standard industry trade practices, covering fresh wholefish and fillets from Greece and Turkey. Size categories will ensure broad market representation and relevance across key product specifications.
This initiative aims to provide valuable and independent price benchmarks for the Mediterranean sea bass and sea bream industry, complementing our established reputation as a credible global seafood news supplier. With nearly 3,000 data sets across key species, this new service will further strengthen our offerings.
UCN has also initiated added US wholesale price coverage of farmed Atlantic salmon from Canada and Norway, live lobster, and wild Mexican shrimp.
