Price transmission in seafood value chain. Case study in Spain shows retailers favor farmed products.

Abstract

An FAO research project that studied value chains for wild and farmed seafood analyzed the impacts of varied market conditions on the transmission of prices from farms to consumers. Changes in retail prices were less pronounced than in producer or wholesaler prices, as retailers tended to flatten price variations. Value added by wholesalers was higher for wild species with limited imports. Retail farmed fish prices were more closely linked with the evolution of pricing across the value chain
