Commitment made by Carrefour to buy 200 tons of fresh fish in the next three weeks
(SPAIN, 6/9/2020)
As an emergency measure to help "unlock" the consequences of COVID-19 on fresh fish sales. It will transfer the drop in price to the consumer in the fish shops of its 190 hypermarkets in Spain
Given the drop in activity and the drop in prices in the Spanish fishing sector, Carrefour has reached an agreement, through Puerto Celeiro, with a group of Spanish shipowners to buy and market the majority of its production, 200 tons during the next three weeks.
In this way, in an effort to release large volumes of fishing, Carrefour will transfer the price decrease to the consumer and thus guarantee the maximum possible sales volume. The products included are the skewer hake and the small whiting, which can be purchased at € 6.50 kg and € 3.90 kg, respectively.
The agreement, set for this month, aims to become a permanent collaboration model that helps the sustainability of the Spanish fishing sector. Hake and whiting are fished with the art of longline or skewer, that is, through a line with thousands of hooks at different depths, a selective and clean technique, and therefore a benchmark for sustainable fishing. Carrefour customers will be able to enjoy, at a very competitive price, a product recognized as high-end of its kind.
