THE VALUE CHAIN

The growth of aquaculture production has far exceeded that of conventional livestock production in recent decades and increased industrialisation is making farmed fish more and more competitive with other forms of animal protein.

Rising demand for seafood coupled with reducing wild fish stocks is also encouraging the growth of fish farming worldwide, - which means that global demand for fish feed is also growing fast.

The fish farming value chain stretches from supply of fishmeal and other raw materials, through feed production to farming, fish processing, and on via the food processor and retailer to the end-consumer. BioMar occupies the feed production link in this chain. There is increasing consolidation of the value chain meaning fewer, larger fish farms and growing integration by firms along the chain.

BioMar has grown in step with the fish farming industry and, as the largest dedicated feed supplier, is well positioned to lead the industry’s further development.
