Summary

The Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) was commissioned by Seafood Services Australia Ltd (SSA) to prepare an update of the publication "Evaluation of the Market for Dried Seafood 1993-96”. This was done as a desk study using data from State and Commonwealth governments’ officers in the field. The report takes the form of a short publication that can be used either as an insert in the original comprehensive report or as a stand alone booklet.

There is a short introduction to the considerations involved in setting up a dried seafood operation followed by an analysis of markets.  The discussion concentrates on the three main exports for Australian dried seafood, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.
