Responsible Seafood Summit

From September 29 to October 2, the Global Seafood Alliance will host the 24th Responsible Seafood Summit in the vibrant city of Cartagena.

This annual gathering of global seafood leaders offers a unique stage to explore the future of aquaculture and wild-capture fisheries, exchange ideas on sustainability, and highlight innovations shaping the industry. With its rich history, Caribbean energy, and growing importance in global seafood, Cartagena sets the scene for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and fresh perspectives on responsible seafood.

Kontali will contribute to the programme with presentations on global shrimp and salmon market dynamics. Our analysts, Ragnar Nystøyl and Erwin Termaat, will be available throughout the summit for discussions on market intelligence and industry developments.

Unprecedented economic forces have upended global trade this year, including tariffs aimed at stemming trade, particularly to the U.S. market. As the world's leading shrimp market, this disruption is forcing links in the shrimp value chain to reassess their businesses downstream.
