IN BRIEF - Joint development of crab sticks that do not use surimi

JAPAN
Monday, March 13, 2023

A new series of topical next-generation seafood "like a fish"! Joint development of plant-based “Maru Kanikama”

Azuma Foods Co., Ltd., entered into a business alliance with Fujimitsu Co., Ltd. for the sale of a new series that pursues not only commitment but also taste, Kamaboko) was jointly developed.

Is the expression "tastes better than the real thing" correct? Kani-flavored kamaboko (commonly known as Kanikama) is always cited as a representative example of processed food alternatives, but when asked about the industry, it seems that there is a supply shortage of fish paste, which is the raw material. The shortage of raw materials for "surimi" accompanying the global increase in demand for marine products gave us the motivation to "challenge" the concept of the "Maru Fish" series, which aims to provide sustainable products.

Fujimitsu Co., Ltd. is a long-established kamaboko manufacturing company that has been in business for over 130 years. They have outstanding manufacturing technology and experience cultivated over many years, but they cannot survive without a stable supply of surimi raw materials. When thinking about delicious crab stick products looking ahead to the next 100 years, they decided to try to develop and manufacture “just like crab sticks” .

Crab? ! Crab bite? plant base? ? I made "Kanikama" with 100% vegetable base.

Other Media | SeafoodSource: US supply-chain situation improving, but still volatile

UNITED STATES
Monday, March 13, 2023

Almost exactly one year ago, Lineage Logistics Senior Vice President Brian Beattie painted a relatively grim picture of the state of cold storage from the perspective of the seafood industry: labor shortages, high energy costs, and abnormally high demand meant storage was both hard to find and came at a premium cost. 

The story isn’t quite as grim as it once was, but Beattie told SeafoodSource during the 2023 Seafood Expo North America – running from 12 to 14 March in Boston, Massachusetts – that it isn’t a fairy tale either.

Other Media | FishFarmer: SalMar closes slaughterhouse with loss of 110 jobs

NORWAY
Monday, March 13, 2023

SalMar is to close a large coastal slaughterhouse at Rørvik in central Norway with the loss of more than 100 jobs.

The company said the decision is largely based on economic grounds, with the centre requiring an investment of NOK 250 million (£20m) to bring it up to standard. Rumours about a possible closure have been circulating for several weeks.

“Such an investment is not advisable with the ground rent tax,” the company added, referring to the new tax on fish farmers due to be imposed by the Norwegian government.

Sunday, March 12, 2023

The European Commission has approved, under EU state aid rules, a €32 million German scheme to support the fishery sector affected by the withdrawal of the UK from the EU.

The aim of the scheme is to support companies in the fishery sector in Germany in reorienting their activities. In particular, the measure will support: (i) marketing activities up to a maximum of €999,900 per beneficiary; (ii) the adaptation of fish processing activities up to a maximum of €7,5 million per beneficiary; (iii) investments in German-flagged fishing vessels up to a maximum of €5 million per beneficiary; and (iv) compensation to laid-off workers (‘severance payment') up to a total of €999,900 per company. The scheme will run until 31 December 2023.

The measure is planned to be funded under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, established to mitigate the economic and social impact of Brexit, subject to approval under the specific provisions governing funding from that instrument.

The Commission has assessed the scheme under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, which allows member states to support the development of certain economic activities or regions under certain conditions, and in particular the Guidelines for the examination of state aid to the fishery and aquaculture sector.
