The Executive Director of the Association of Seafood Producers is urging both sides not to walk away from the current challenges facing the snow crab fishery.
He says $2.25 puts Newfoundland and Labrador producers at a significant disadvantage. NL producers pay workers’ compensation while in the Maritimes and Quebec, they don’t. In addition, according to Loder, transportation and operation costs in NL are higher than in the rest of Atlantic Canada.When the price was first set, the market was $5.75 US on the market, leaving harvesters with a 43 percent share of the price.
“Why would an outside buyer come to Newfoundland to buy fish of any species when he can get it cheaper in his own province?” Ryan asks, “I mean, he’d be out of his mind.”
