Market access is key
"The Government aims to pave the way for the seafood sector, but at the same time we must ensure that growth is sustainable," Aspaker asserted at the Master's Conference in Brussels.
She was invited to give a presentation about the seafood industry market access. She`s admitting the industry's challenges, but she also believes tha industry has tackled the challenges well.
"Seafood exporters seem to have a built ability to handle changes. The Russian import ban has meant that EU cooperation has been strengthened.
"Last year, Poland - the most important country - has also evolved to become an important consumer market. Meanwhile France remains the second most important market, while UK was the biggest growth market last year," she observed.
