文/Michael Ramsingh 文章来源：SEAFOOD.COM NEWS 2013.11.21 译/中国水产频道 郭金凤 校/胡路怡 中国水产频道独家报道，美国罗非鱼主要供应国产量下调，而采购商在寻找新鲜的罗非鱼资源过程中竞争激烈，导致美国2013年罗非鱼价格再创新高。 与去年同期相比，目前美国新鲜罗非鱼进口量增幅超过17％，创历史新高。 尽管全球罗非鱼供应持续上升，美国罗非鱼的价格却涨到了历史最高点。据Urner Barry报价，11月份3-5盎司罗非鱼片价格（FOB迈阿密价格）达4-4.15美金/磅，年均上涨幅度超过3%。 美国的罗非鱼进口量与价格双双上升，原因在于，今年主要罗非鱼供应国出口量下降，采购商不得不在新的市场展开竞争。 首先，自2009年来，随着全球对虾资源的短缺，厄瓜多尔养殖户逐渐从对虾养殖中获利，罗非鱼养殖受到相当程度的遏制。2013年初到9月份，厄瓜多尔对美国的鲜罗非鱼出口量下降超过28％。 与此同时，2011年以来其已经超越厄瓜多尔成为美国顶级新鲜罗非鱼的供应国的洪都拉斯，2013年迄今为止对美国的出口量下降了3％。 但另外一些其他国家（如哥伦比亚，哥斯达黎加和墨西哥三国）的产量与出口量大幅提高，平衡了厄瓜多尔和洪都拉斯的减产，填补了美国罗非鱼进口量的不足。 但这种向新市场的转移，造成美国采购商之间的竞争更加激烈，重置成本不断增加，采购的高成本已经对供应链产生影响，造成了9月份以来的3.42美元/磅的历史最高水平。2013年迄今为止，罗非鱼平均价格高达空前的3.32美元/磅。 因此，在主要供应国出口量显著下降的情况下，美国依然进口了大量罗非鱼片，激烈的采购商之间的竞争使得采购成本上涨， 上游的竞争结果导致了下游市场价格的上涨。 （www.Seafood.com是北美最大的渔业信息网站，与《水产前沿》、中国水产频道已建立合作关系。） ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fresh tilapia prices in the US reach new highs as importers compete in new markets SEAFOOD.COM NEWS by Michael Ramsingh - November 21, 2013 A rush to find fresh tilapia in the wake of production pullbacks from major supplying countries has sent US prices to new highs in 2013. Currently US fresh tilapia imports are up over 17 percent YTD compared with year ago levels and are at record highs. Yet despite an overall increase in supplies, prices in the US have hit all-time highs. In November, Urner Barry’s per pound price for a C&SA 3-5 oz. fresh tilapia fillet are up over 3 percent year-over-year averaging between $4.00 and $4.15 FOB Miami.
Source: Urner Barry The parallel increase in both imported volumes and prices in the US this year is a result of buyers forced to compete in new markets for product as exports from a couple of top supplying nations have fallen in 2013. First, Ecuador has steadily curbed its fresh tilapia operations in favor of shrimp production since 2009. And since the EMS-induced global shrimp shortage this year, Ecuadorian farmers have ramped up shrimp production considerably. Through September Ecuador’s YTD fresh tilapia exports to the US are down over 28 percent. Meanwhile, Honduras, which had succeeded Ecuador as the top US fresh tilapia supplier since 2011, has seen its US exports fall 3 percent YTD in 2013. But a number of other C&SA countries have ramped up production to counter the Ecuadorian and Honduran shortfalls.  Source: Urner Barry Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico have filled the void with notable export increases from all three countries. But this shift to new markets has forced US buyers to compete more heavily for product and replacement costs hit record levels in September to $3.42 per pound after months of gradual increases. Now, the current YTD price per pound is averaging an all-time high $3.32. The hike in replacements has reverberated down the supply chain resulting in the record high prices now seen in the US market since September. So while the US has imported record amounts of fresh tilapia fillets despite significant cutbacks from top suppliers, increased buyer competition has helped raise replacement costs which have been passed down to the market. 【关键字】：罗非鱼片 价格上涨 加工出口 中国水产频道（www.fishfirst.cn）独家报道，转载请说明出处，违者追究法律责任， 谢谢合作。 |
