SKIPJACK TUNA PRICES COME UP SO FAST On May 8 skipjack prices rested at $1,080 per metric ton in Bangkok – and at the beginning of August had reached $1,500/t. Several sources have said they would not be surprised to see $1,700/t reached by fall. Last week, beginning Aug. 17, prices in Bangkok and General Santos City were $1,500/t, said Tiu Laurel. "We have some indication that prices will go up a little more, since catching in WCPFC remains very bad, especially due to weather. And, as we all know, the EPO [eastern Pacific ocean] 50% stoppage." |
