World Octopus Market
Import figures for octopus reflect the general trend experienced in catch and export: they increased continuously from 1976 to 2000, to drop off in recent years. In 2005, total octopus imports reached 270 000 tonnes. However, when looking at the 2005 figures, there is a 50 000 tonnes, or 20% of total octopus traded, difference between exports and imports. This indicates that export figures are less accurate than the import figures. The Republic of Korea is the top octopus importing country and b y far the world’s main octopus consumer.
