Letter from our CEO
2023 marked an important milestone in our Company, with remarkable growth in the business volume. We caught over 71,000 tons of jack mackerel and processed 30,000 tons of mussels, adding a new product line for vacuum-packed whole-shell mussels. In the fishmeal plant, we processed 66,000 tons and transformed 13,000 tons into salmon protein hydrolysate.
This expansion has taken place alongside our Company’s evolution towards a more complex entity. We have increased our staff numbers from 600 to over 700 and strengthened our organizational structure.
As an industry, we are also facing another significant legislative challenge: the draft of a new fisheries law.
We believe in renewing laws to update them according to the context and prosperity. We hope the new bill promotes a long-term development strategy that strengthens the industry and provides stability, allowing us to project and reactivate our investments in the future. Only in this way will we be able to guarantee the employment of our staff and stimulate the development of the areas where we operate.
