Domestic Wholesale Prices For Tilapia Decline in The First Week Of November

   On November 7, 2026, wholesale prices for tilapia of various size categories in China showed varying degrees of decline compared to their respective average prices in October. The monthly average price for small-sized tilapia fell by 9.71% month-on-month, while prices for medium- and large-sized tilapia also trended downward. Furthermore, compared to November 2025, prices for medium- and large-sized tilapia have shifted to a year-on-year decline.

   On that day, small-sized tilapia was the only category among the three to maintain a year-on-year price increase. Medium-sized tilapia-a category primarily destined for the fresh market or used as raw material for basic processing-saw its monthly price fall below the level recorded during the same period last year. Large-sized tilapia experienced a smaller month-on-month decline than the small-sized category, yet its price also showed a year-on-year decrease.

   The price fluctuations across the three size categories followed different patterns: small-sized tilapia saw the sharpest month-on-month drop, yet remained higher year-on-year; meanwhile, medium- and large-sized tilapia experienced declines in both month-on-month and year-on-year terms. The price adjustments during the first week of November have led to a divergence in the annual price performance across the different size categories.
