Tilapia loses value in the domestic market and exports suffer a decline

In August, tilapia prices continued to fall, reflecting still weak demand, according to surveys by Cepea.

On the other hand, according to the Research Center, the supply of animals is showing signs of decline, with lighter fish becoming available on the market.

According to surveys by Cepea, prices reacted slightly in the last week of August, but not enough to raise the monthly averages for fish.

Regarding Brazilian tilapia exports, the volume shipped fell sharply in August, to 797 tons, 40.6% less than in the previous month and 41.3% lower than that recorded in the same period of 2024, according to data from Secex compiled and analyzed by Cepea.
