Sustainability major concern for the industry
Starting in mid May 2009 tuna prices in all major catching areas began to rise because of fears that upcoming tuna fishing bans in these areas will squeeze global supply for the canning industry. Canned tuna prices have been low in recent months, but are likely to follow raw material prices up-ward very soon. Sustainability is a major concern for the global tuna industry, which is trying to make its voice heard.
