Negotiate smarter with independent seafood market insights in Europe

In a volatile seafood market, timing and knowledge define profitability. With Kontali’s independent seafood price forecasts, production outlooks, and market intelligence, buyers and sellers gain the foresight needed to negotiate confidently and secure better outcomes.

Three ways Kontali strengthens your negotiation outcomes

1. Negotiate with foresight

Knowing what is ahead gives you leverage in every seafood contract discussion.

Contract negotiations require more than intuition. Fluctuations in production volumes, global demand, trade flows, and currency movements can quickly move seafood prices. Kontali combines biological supply modelling, market analytics and expert insights to provide data-driven seafood forecasts – supporting teams in planning and negotiating with precision and lower risk.

2. Trusted insights

Independent, transparent forecasts both buyers and sellers rely on as a fair reference point.

Kontali serves as a neutral reference point for both seafood buyers and sellers. Our forecasts are built on decades of data and transparent methodologies, providing trusted insights that bring clarity and credibility to long-term seafood contracts and spot-market decisions.

3. Smarter data. Stronger deals.

Turn uncertainty into an advantage with production and price forecasts you can act on.

With a clear outlook on production cycles and price development, you can identify market opportunities, mitigate pricing risk, and strengthen your negotiation strategy. It is not about predicting the future — it is about understanding what shapes it.
