As the effects of 2025’s trade escalations ripple through global markets, the seafood industry is grappling with sharp shifts in cost structures, sourcing dynamics, and market access. In this keynote, economist and geopolitical strategist Dr. Nomi Prins delivers a forward-looking economic outlook for 2026, tailored to the global seafood sector. From U.S.-China trade tension fallout to evolving E.U. labeling regulations, traceability mandates, and energy price swings, Prins will connect macro forces to daily decisions. Whether you’re navigating Latin American shrimp exports, Middle East shipping chokepoints, or European labeling mandates, she’ll break down the real forces behind the headlines and what they mean for seafood’s global future. With Norway’s shipments to the U.S. under pressure and India, Brazil, and Vietnam repositioning in response to tariff pressures, global players must navigate a more fractured, competitive, and politically complex trade map. Prins will help seafood leaders see what’s really moving beneath the surface – and how to stay ahead.
