Big in Japan
New official figures show that exports of Scottish salmon to Japan have more than doubled in the first half of 2016.
The news comes as Scottish salmon farmers are exhibiting at the Japanese Seafood Show (17 – 19 August) to meet trade buyers.
Compared to the same period in 2015, salmon exports to Japan have grown by 127% to reach a value close to £2m.
Scott Landsburgh, Chief Executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation (SSPO), said: “Scottish salmon farmers are capitalising on growing global demand for high quality fish. The international reputation of Scottish salmon for quality and provenance is well established around the world.”
