FFAW and ASP Reach Deal on 2024 Cod Price
May 9, 2024
The FFAW and ASP reached a deal on cod last night, May 8th.
The schedule will be the same as the 2023 schedule, and prices for cod will be:
| Start of Season | August 1, 2024, to end of Season |
| Grade A – $0.97 per pound | Grade A – $1.05 per pound |
| Grade B – $0.38 per pound | Grade B – $0.40 per pound |
| Grade C – $0.20 per pound | Grade C – $0.20 per pound |
This is a 5% increase from last year, which is notable because the market is down 11% compared to the same time in 2023.
As part of the agreement, ASP and FFAW have agreed to continue bi-weekly meetings to review the current cod market, discuss the price against market conditions, and discuss changes to the grading system. FFAW extends appreciation to the Negotiation Committee for their efforts in a difficult week of bargaining. You have done a great service for fellow harvesters.
