Tuna

Global tuna production reached approximately 7.4 million MT in 2023, with skipjack dominating wild catch and farmed species growing. The market is valued at ~$42–48 billion USD annually, driven by sushi/sashimi demand in Asia and canned consumption in developed markets. Supply remains vulnerable to overfishing, climate-driven stock migration, and regulatory catch restrictions under regional fisheries management organizations.
