Seafood is one of the most extensively traded food commodities on a global scale, and the United States’ country-by-country trade negotiations are reshaping the industry’s traditional supply lines. While the U.S. and EU are working on a joint framework for a trade agreement to eliminate all EU tariffs on industrial goods, including seafood, other established U.S. seafood suppliers face a more challenging bargaining table with less favorable outcomes.  

When the dust settles, where will the EU stand as a seafood supplier to the U.S. market? Changing trade flows, shifting processing centers and fluctuating product availability will be discussed by a panel of key trade figures and industry players as they examine the current state of seafood sourcing in a tariff-affected trade environment.
