Current cephalopod imports into the U.S were also on the downward trend. In the first 7 months of this year, imports of cephalopod products into the U.S decreased compared to the same period last year. However, due to the low yield of cephalopod pushed the import value higher than that of the same period. Specifically, the total volume of cephalopod in the U.S in the first seven months reached nearly 27 thousand MT, worth by US$183 million, down 14% in volume but up 2.6% in value.
In particular, squid products accounted for the highest proportion. Of that, frozen/smoked/salted squid accounted for more than 56% of total import volume; followed by processed squid and frozen/smoked/salted octopus.
