There is no shortage of people which believe that they can sell red sea cucumber to Asia. This will never work. Why ?
- Fishing red sea cucumber is far to expensive (even it is allowed).
- Norwegian fishing industry is not made for getting sea cucumber up, they fish "mass" and with margins not little with high margin.
- There has been a wide report from Havnforkningsinstitute about it, also that fishermen do not be able to get stable amount of sea cucumber up. read and find.
- In any case you need to dry them. This is very expensive and stinks like hell.
- You have to provide stable amount of Sea Cucumber to China, this is not possible from Norway. Grows to slowly.
We have tested Norwegian Red Sea Cucumber with top experts from China several times and they wanted to invest very much to get Sea Cucumber from Norway. To small, to expensive, not attractive in China. In case people have interest, you need to compete against prices from Farming Vietnam with much bigger Sea Cucumber and costs. Willingness to pay is below 2-4 USD (plus shipping) per dried Red Sea Cucumber when you find someone who wants it. But again, the red one is too small and drying too expensive. I know at least 20 companies which tried and never made it.
