EU Exports
The European Union is the most significant in terms of total PNG exports, and is also the largest
market for canned tuna. In 2010, total canned tuna exports to the EU was 15,867 mt and valued at
around € 37 million (Table 3.10). The highest volume of canned tuna exports on record was 18,217
mt in 2005, with annual export volumes fluctuating throughout the past ten years (2001-2010). In
2008, there was a considerable drop in canned tuna exports to 8,739 mt, as a result of RDTC’s
temporary loss of EU market access. The major EU markets for canned tuna are presently Germany,
UK, Denmark and the Netherlands.
PNG processors have been exporting cooked loins to the EU since 2005 and volumes have fluctuated
during this time. In 2010, cooked loin exports were the highest volume to date, totalling 2,485 mt
and valued at € 8.8 million. The major markets for PNG loins are Italy and Spain.
The EU markets for canned tuna and cooked loins are further discussed in Section 6.
