Skretting reaches 1 million tonnes fish feed

“We continue to build our market share, even in
challenging times, and this year we will certainly pass one million tonnes of
produced and delivered feed,” said Knut Nesse, managing director of Business
Group Skretting Salmon Feed.

Celebration
Skretting
companies in Australia, Canada, Chile, Ireland, Norway and the UK are
highlighting the occasion with ceremonial deliveries of ‘millionth tonne’ bags
and special gifts for all employees.

Much to be
done
Commenting, Wout Dekker, CEO of Skretting’s parent company
Nutreco, added: “This is a real milestone for the company. The achievement
highlights the firm foundation of this young industry. Given the existing size
of the salmon industry and the continuing growth of other aquaculture species, I
can foresee a day when we will celebrate two million tonnes.
“To reach that
point, we need to continue our investments in R&D and bring about many
innovations. There is much to be done, for example in fish health and the
sustainability of aquaculture. But, when you look back at how far we have
developed since we celebrated 100,000 tonnes, it is clear we can achieve
remarkable progress and Nutreco is determined to continue that
progress.”
