Nigeria showed a substantial increase of 22.66% compared to last year, despite its smaller export value. Other European nations, including Portugal, Italy, and Slovenia, showcased minimal export values and stagnant growth.

Looking ahead, there are several trends to watch in the global crab export market. Increasing demand for seafood in emerging markets, sustainable fishing practices, and innovations in logistics and cold chain management could influence future export dynamics. Furthermore, climatic and environmental changes may impact crab populations, potentially affecting supply levels and market share among exporting countries.
