New EUMOFA study: Portion trout in the EU
Dear Reader,
EUMOFA is pleased to announce the publication of the new case study: “Portion trout in the EU”. The study focuses on the price structure along the supply chain in Germany, Italy, and Poland. The study is available in English, French, and Spanish, and will soon be available in German, Italian, and Polish.
This new case study examines the supply chain of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the EU. The species is supplied to the market as whole or as a fillet. The commercial size for the portion-sized trout generally ranges from 350 g up to 600 g.
Rainbow trout is the main freshwater species farmed at EU level, both in terms of volume and value. In 2019, EU 27 production of trout was 183.819 tonnes. The main EU Member States producing trout are France, Italy, and Denmark, accounting for 56% of EU production. In 2019, world trout production stood at 939.878 tonnes and has been increasing since 2015 (+21% in volume in the period 2015-2019). The EU 27 is the second-largest trout producer in the world, accounting for 20% of world production.
In Germany, the ex-farm prices for portion trout ranged from 4,37 EUR/kg to 7,79 EUR/kg (2019) with a final price of 10,41 EUR/kg (observed in small-scale retail shops). In Italy, the average ex-farm price for fresh portion trout was 3,30 EUR/kg (2021) and the retail price considered in the analysis was 9,90 EUR/kg for large-scale retailers (from 7,90 to 9,90 EUR/kg at retail stage based on a store check). In Poland, the ex-farm price considered is 2,62 EUR/kg (2020) and the report provides two price transmission analyses: packed product in large-scale retailers (final price at 5,79 EUR/kg) and unpacked product in traditional shops (final price at 5,82 EUR/kg).
