Exports of bivalves jump 1.6% in first half of 2016 |
For the six-month period, VASEP noted that shipments of bivalves, principally clams, to the US shot up roughly 78.3% on the back of food safety concerns over imports from the Republic of Korea (RoK).
Relatedly, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a blanket ban on all certified RoK shippers of bivalves in June of this year prohibiting them from exporting any clam, oyster or similar bivalve product such as krill into any US market.

The US combined with Japan and the EU account for an 85% market share and all three markets saw overall improved sales for the January-June period, said VASEP, while consignments to ASEAN nations collectively declined by nearly 22.7%.
