Sharp Volume Collapse Signals Intensifying Supply Instability and Rising Reliance on Russia
The South Korean import market for frozen pollock experienced a dramatic contraction in October 2025, with the volume of imports falling by a striking 61% compared to the same month last year.
According to a detailed analysis from the specialized seafood platform, Union Forsea Corp., this sharp decrease in volume is particularly concerning as the average unit price continued to climb, signaling intensifying supply instability in a market heavily reliant on a single source.
