American imports of prepared or preserved crab meat show a sign of recovery this year. In the first seven months of 2021, the U.S. imported 17.5K tons of crab meat, which was +4.4% higher than the figures for the same period of 2020. In 2021, the average price for imported crab meat rose approximately by +22% compared to the previous year. Indonesia remains the largest supplier, providing nearly half of the total American import volume. Last year, the U.S. boosted purchases from Indonesia, while imports from Venezuela and China declined.
