Wholesale Abalone

The potential for making a killing tin the wholesale abalone market is staggering. In 1998, the value on the international market for 9.8 tons of wholesale abalone was $1.35 million. Add a little inflation, and years of over fishing that have nearly exhausted the natural abalone population from areas that have historically been the most prolific fisheries of this popular delicacy and healing food, and you have wholesale abalone prices today that hover around $1,000.00 for a case of twenty-four cans, a price that doubles in some Asian markets.

Why is the wholesale abalone market so lucrative? Farming the abalone is not the easiest form of agriculture, and restrictions on fishing of the abalone are the main factors dictating the inflation of worldwide wholesale abalone prices. There is also more knowledge available, via the internet and thanks to the efforts of various health gurus and practitioners, as to the nutritional and health benefits of eating abalone and using abalone-based supplements like abalone powder.
