Pink salmon up

Grocer, Nov 2, 2002

Pink salmon prices are firming after reports the US government would purchase more 418g cans early in 2003. The last tender cleared 100,000 cases, and another similar quantity would firm the market.

Reds are on promotion in UK retailers which will continue in the run-up to Christmas. Most of the activity will be on the two leading brands, John West and Princes, because own labels do not have the funding needed to support bogof deals.

Meanwhile, US and Canadian packers are concentrating on their domestic markets, where they have share to protect.
