The aquaculture industry in Scotland

Scotland's aquaculture industry is a vital sector contributing significantly to the country's economy and is an increasingly important food production industry to Scotland. Despite its significance, the industry has faced a decline in recent years, prompting an ambitious plan and growth strategy known as the "2030 Aquaculture Strategy" initiated back in 2017. This strategy brought together key decision-makers and stakeholders from the entire value chain of Scotland's aquaculture industry to establish a collective and ambitious development strategy for the entire industry.

The aquaculture industry, along with the related processing sector, has the potential for increased productivity and efficiency. The goal of the indstry is to double the contribution to Scotlands economy by 2030 and also double the number of individuals directly engaged in the sector. Scotland aims to establish the country as a world leader within the aquaculture industry and at the same time grow the industry sustainably.

Market brief and opportunities

Currently, Scotland is third-largest salmon producer in the world behind Chile and Norway. However, Scotland's global market share has declined by nearly 50% over the past two decades, as it has been outperformed by competing salmon-producing nations. Scotland is determined to reverse this downward trend through focused efforts in the industry.

Danish suppliers of innovative, cost-effective, energy-efficient, and sustainable solutions have great potential for contributing to the modernization and optimization of Scotland's aquaculture and related processing industry.
