Additionally, the use of innovative technologies, such as blockchain, for traceability and transparency is also on the rise, providing further potential for growth and differentiation in the market.
Local special circumstances: In Qatar, the Processed Fish & Seafood Market is heavily influenced by the country's small size and its reliance on imported products due to limited local resources.
