IN BRIEF - Russia Plans $8.85 Billion in Fish and Seafood Exports by 2030

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Wednesday, November 13, 2024

According to the All-Russian Association of Fisheries Enterprises (VARPE), Russia aims to increase its fish and seafood exports to $8.85 billion by 2030, exceeding the initial target of $8.5 billion. Achieving this goal will require boosting exports by 1.5 times compared to 2021 levels.

VARPE’s analysis highlights significant growth potential in key product categories, including frozen pollock, cod, crab, and various types of caviar. Target markets for this expansion include China, South Korea, Japan, and EU countries. The forecast takes into account global market changes, including sanctions and geopolitical factors.

VARPE also emphasizes that abolishing export duties will be essential to meeting these projections, especially as demand for fishmeal rises alongside the growth of aquaculture—an industry expanding amid stagnation in global wild fish production.


IN BRIEF - Ministry pushes for nature-based aquaculture

FIJI
Monday, December 02, 2024

NATURE-BASED aquaculture offers a promising alternative, harnessing the power of nature to produce food in an environmentally responsible way, says Ministry of Fisheries and Forest head of aquaculture Dr Alok Kalla.

Speaking at the Aqua-Pearl Stakeholder Inception and Workshop at Holiday Inn in Suva last week, he said traditional aquaculture practices, while essential, had often come with environmental costs, such as pollution, habitat destruction, and overfishing.

He said at its core, nature-based aquaculture sought to mimic natural ecosystems, integrating aquaculture practices with conservation efforts.

“By working in harmony with nature, we can mitigate the negative impacts of traditional aquaculture and create sustainable, resilient food systems,” Dr Kalla said.

“One of the key principles of nature-based aquaculture is the restoration and protection of natural habitats.

“By restoring mangroves, sea grass beds, and coral reefs, we can create diverse ecosystems that support a wide range of marine life, including fish and shellfish".

He said nature-based aquaculture offered a promising pathway towards a more sustainable and equitable future.

“Let us embrace this innovative approach and strive to create a world where aquaculture is a force for good, nourishing our communities while preserving our precious marine ecosystems.”

Other Media | Fish Farmer: All eyes on Grieg Seafood as speculation mounts

CANADA
Friday, November 29, 2024

Talk about what might happen followed publication of the company’s third quarter results, which showed heavy losses from British Columbia.

One analyst told the Norwegian journal Finansavisen today that a Canadian sale deal could be reached within the next month or two.

Grieg’s operation there was hit by oxygen problems and algae blooms, which led to higher mortality.

It is still uncertain whether Grieg will get out of Canada altogether or keep Newfoundland and sell BC.

Other Media | Alimarket: The plant-based market consolidates its growth and foresees a 10% increase by 2025

SPAIN
Friday, November 29, 2024

With a growth in 2023 of 9.4%, the Spanish plant-based sector reached nearly €600 million in sales last year, to consolidate itself as the fourth largest plant-based market in Europe, behind Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. Thus, more than a third of Spaniards consumed plant-based products in 2023; in fact, 46% of households included plant-based drinks in their diet. But the economic impact of the sector extends beyond sales. In 2023, the sector, made up of some 60 companies, generated more than 6,500 direct, indirect and induced jobs, with an increase of 9.4% compared to the previous year.
 
On the other hand, it generated a Gross Added Value (GVA) of €355 million, demonstrating its significant contribution to the national economy.

IN BRIEF - Modeling Won Over Salmon... Though They Touch at Some Point

NORWAY
Thursday, November 28, 2024

Gustav Jr.'s story is marked by the weight of his family legacy. His father, Gustav Witzøe, is the co-founder of SalMar, one of the world's leading salmon producers and sellers.

In 2013, when Gustav was just 19, his father transferred 53% of the company's shares to him. This move not only secured his place as the major shareholder but also made him a multimillionaire at a very young age.

SalMar supports the career of Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud

However, despite being the heir to an empire that produces thousands of tons of salmon each year, Gustav Jr. does not actively participate in the company's management. His father and other executives run SalMar, while he has decided to explore his more creative side and invest his time in other projects.

With his fortune and restless spirit, the young Norwegian found in fashion and his hobbies a way to challenge the expectations that others might have of a multimillionaire heir. While SalMar continues to consolidate itself as a salmon giant, Gustav Jr. continues to explore his own path, demonstrating that, for him, work and passion go hand in hand.

The first special auction hosted on the "Ocean Cloud+" service platform by Zhejiang Zhoushan International Agricultural Products Trading Center (Zhejiang Agricultural Center) at the Zhoushan Ocean Fishery Base concluded successfully.

This event featured 112 tons of Argentine illex squid  caught by Ocean Family in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean. It attracted participation from over ten trading and processing companies within and outside Zhoushan, while nearly 100 viewers watched the entire bidding process via a live broadcast.

To ensure transparency, fairness, and equity, the Zhejiang Agricultural Center leveraged its official website, WeChat public account, and other platforms to disseminate bidding information and transaction rules beforehand. The entire bidding process was live-streamed, safeguarding the legitimate interests of both buyers and sellers.
