More than 40,000 pounds of Atlantic salmon fillets destined for the U.S. market were traded in the second transaction on the SalmonEx online platform.
SalmonEx director Arturo Clement said this shows that the online platform is being validated in the market as an innovative alternative to salmon marketing.
“Several major U.S. salmon buyers have expressed interest in participating in SalmonEx,” said Clement.
SalmonEx conducted its first real-time trading session last week. In all, 10 participants traded for a total of 55,000 pounds of salmon.
“It was amazing to see how well the system performed, and what it truly means to bring transparency to the market operators,” said Clement.
