Only one source is capable of providing the service required at the level of quality required because the service is unique and highly specialized.
NMFS economists have been using Food Service Seafood Sales Data (Supply Track) and Retail Service Seafood Sales Data from Circana for multiple years. Continuing to purchase this data from Circana will allow construction of a consistent time series of historical data. This will enable reporting and analysis of trends in seafood prices and quantities that affect the fishing industry and need to be factored into management decisions.
If this product is not purchased, NMFS will be unable to report and analyze trends in retail seafood demand. This will limit the information on seafood markets and trade available to agency leadership and the public. Further, it will delay the development of tools to predict the effects of market changes on the fishing industry.
These data sets provided by Circana are direct Circana product offerings that are not available from other vendors.
