Latvia: Fish and Seafood Market in Latvia

For 2014 the total fish catch in Latvia was 120,000 MT, which included the Baltic Sea and long-distance fisheries. Half of the Latvian fish processing industry processes fish harvested in the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Riga and the remaining part processes fish originating from the high sea catch and imports. Latvia has 100 fish processing plants producing for the domestic and export markets. In 2014 average annual fish consumption in Latvia amounted to 10.8 kilograms, almost 50 percent of the average per capita fish consumption in the EU. Latvia imports mainly raw fish which is used by the local industry for further processing.
