Cancellations from China have lead to 10-15% price drop for both Scottish and Norwegian farmed salmon and further drops expected in coming weeks. Talk of salmon being "dumped" into US and Brazil to get rid of production previously destined for China. I'm sure NZ salmon companies will be affected. But of course these drops are from all time high prices so needs to be kept in context. But definitely a worry to have so much being cancelled, particularly around the Chinese New Lunar Year when seafood consumption has always been at its highest. Most cancellations due to the fact that transport inside China is in chaos so nobody is buying. Not only salmon but all seafood being affected and for example crayfish operators in NZ are working with MPI to consider releasing large amounts of crayfish in holding tanks (previously destined for China) back into the ocean.

There will no doubt be a heavy handed reaction by Chinese officials - they'll ban foreign seafood and especially anything fresh/live, from everywhere, not just those sources.
It's more blaming foreigners for spreading the virus - more likely to have come from someone cutting the salmon.

China closing is not an issue for them. Their product demand is very high they have a really differentiated product.
their big issue is ramping up supply and they’ve been all over the place with it. Seems risky as an investor with only the trials in cook straight to pin your hopes on. They need to really look at ways they can consistently increase tonnage of salmon over a longer timeframe.
