Customer preferences: As consumers become more health-conscious and environmentally aware, there is a growing demand for sustainable and ethically sourced fresh fish in the Fish & Seafood Market within The Food market. This trend is driven by the desire for healthier and more ethical food choices, as well as a growing interest in supporting local fishermen and reducing the carbon footprint associated with imported seafood.
