Processing film premiered

The screening of The Business of Processing at London's May Fair Hotel Theatre provided a perfect opportunity for the UK fisheries industry to get a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges the processing sector faces in turning the seafood that is landed and imported into the UK, into products for public consumption in the foodservice sector and at home.

Produced by Seafish, the film builds on the success of last year's The Business of Fishing, which focused on the UK's catching sector. The Business of Processing explores the economic and market pressures that drive innovation in the industry, and takes a look at a crucial steps in a fish product's journey from the sea to our tables.

Profiling processing facilities in Grimsby, the north west of Scotland and the south west of England, it aims to give business owners and managers in other parts of the supply chain a better understanding of the unique challenges seafood processing presents across the UK.

The film will be publically released on the Seafish You Tube Channel on 1st December.
