A leading Chinese tuna processor sees scope for more sales in Europe for its products as prices begin to improve.
Pingtai Rong Ocean Fishery Co. is seeking customers in Europe for its tuna cuts, Eric Wang, assistant manager of the company’s business development department, told SeafoodSource during the 2025 Seafood Expo Global – which ran from 6 to 8 May in Barcelona, Spain.
“The prices we’ve been getting for tuna have been low but are now improving,” Wang said.
Wang said the company, based in the eastern Chinese port city of Zhoushan, is keen to secure a client base in Europe. To date, it has supplied Thai canners with yellowfin loins for E.U. buyers but is open to supply relationships with European retailer and wholesalers and has worked to secure the necessary certifications for the market.
“We have the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification; this is very important for Western buyers,” Wang explained.
