9:45\u201311:15\u00a0| Session I: Supply Chain Restructuring & Duties<\/h5>

What Impacts Will Trade Protectionism Have on the Future Global Tuna Supply Chain?<\/h4>

The ongoing rivalry among the US, EU, and China continues to shape global trade patterns, leading to fragmented tuna supply chains and increased regional processing. Rising trade protectionism, evolving duties, and shifting free trade agreements may force companies to reconsider their supply chain strategies, diversify sourcing, and reduce reliance on specific nations.<\/p>

      12:00\u201313:30 | Session II: Transparency & Supply Chain Risk Management<\/h5>

      Will Increased Demands for Transparency and Ethical Sourcing Benefit or Burden the Tuna Sector?<\/h4>

      Technological advancements, such as AI, affordable satellite imagery, and remote-sensing tools, have revolutionized transparency in the tuna industry. Initiatives like the GDST traceability data standard, the EU\u2019s CATCH system, and the US FSMA regulations are driving sustainable practices and safeguarding consumers from fraud. These shifts, alongside growing consumer demand for ethical sourcing, will reshape sourcing and production strategies in the tuna sector.<\/p>

          Is There Still Room for Growth, or Have We Reached Tuna\u2019s Peak Potential?<\/h4>

          La Ni\u00f1a 2024 brought record catches in the Pacific, while fleets in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean faced challenges. Raw material prices fluctuated dramatically, with some processing hubs achieving record output and others shutting down or facing bankruptcy. Despite initial market struggles, recovery surged across sectors, including tuna for human consumption and pet food. Has the industry reached its peak, or is there untapped potential for growth?<\/p>
