On the rise: China has become a major player in U.S. cod supply

摘要

U.S. cod imports and exports have grown exponentially over the past five years. In 2007, total import values of cod were around $26 million, but from January through August of this year cod imports have totaled more than $181 million. The same story can be said for U.S. exports of cod: Six years ago, cod exports were valued at $243 million and in 2012 U.S. exports were up to $343 million.
