Procurement challenges in seafood
Salmon prices are among the most volatile food commodities. Here is what procurement teams face every quarter.
Budget Uncertainty
Salmon prices can swing 20% quarter-over-quarter, making annual budget planning feel like guesswork. Unexpected spikes strain margins and force difficult menu decisions.
Contract Timing
When to lock in prices vs stay spot? Without forward visibility, procurement teams often sign contracts at the wrong time, missing seasonal price dips.
Supply Visibility
Limited insight into Norwegian production outlook. Biological events, harvest volumes, and sea conditions affect supply but buyers often learn too late.
