Nordic Aqua (Ningbo) Co., Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary of Nordic Aqua Partners (“Nordic Aqua”) has entered into a 30-year rental agreement for land and production facilities with Xiangshan Government through its affiliated company, Xiangshan Strait Economic & Technological Cooperation Co., Ltd.

Under the agreement, the Xiangshan Strait Economic & Technological Cooperation Co., Ltd.  will develop infrastructure and utilities based on Nordic Aqua specifications, which Nordic Aqua will lease back on a long-term basis. The infrastructure part of a land based salmon farm, like Nordic Aqua, is normally in the area of 40/45% of total investments.

UNITED STATES
Wednesday, November 27, 2024

Canadian salmon companies were left reeling today over the news that Donald Trump is threatening to impose a 25% tariff on all goods imported from over the border when he takes office in January.

Southern neighbours Mexico, along with China, are being targeted as well as Canada. President-elect Trump said this morning he would impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and 10% on Chinese goods, until all three countries are able to play their part in tackling the USA’s problems with drugs – particularly the synthetic opiate fentanyl – and illegal migration.
