Other Media | Fish Farmer: All eyes on Grieg Seafood as speculation mounts

CANADA
Friday, November 29, 2024

Talk about what might happen followed publication of the company’s third quarter results, which showed heavy losses from British Columbia.

One analyst told the Norwegian journal Finansavisen today that a Canadian sale deal could be reached within the next month or two.

Grieg’s operation there was hit by oxygen problems and algae blooms, which led to higher mortality.

It is still uncertain whether Grieg will get out of Canada altogether or keep Newfoundland and sell BC.

Other Media | Alimarket: The plant-based market consolidates its growth and foresees a 10% increase by 2025

SPAIN
Friday, November 29, 2024

With a growth in 2023 of 9.4%, the Spanish plant-based sector reached nearly €600 million in sales last year, to consolidate itself as the fourth largest plant-based market in Europe, behind Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. Thus, more than a third of Spaniards consumed plant-based products in 2023; in fact, 46% of households included plant-based drinks in their diet. But the economic impact of the sector extends beyond sales. In 2023, the sector, made up of some 60 companies, generated more than 6,500 direct, indirect and induced jobs, with an increase of 9.4% compared to the previous year.
 
On the other hand, it generated a Gross Added Value (GVA) of €355 million, demonstrating its significant contribution to the national economy.

IN BRIEF - Modeling Won Over Salmon... Though They Touch at Some Point

NORWAY
Thursday, November 28, 2024

Gustav Jr.'s story is marked by the weight of his family legacy. His father, Gustav Witzøe, is the co-founder of SalMar, one of the world's leading salmon producers and sellers.

In 2013, when Gustav was just 19, his father transferred 53% of the company's shares to him. This move not only secured his place as the major shareholder but also made him a multimillionaire at a very young age.

SalMar supports the career of Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud

However, despite being the heir to an empire that produces thousands of tons of salmon each year, Gustav Jr. does not actively participate in the company's management. His father and other executives run SalMar, while he has decided to explore his more creative side and invest his time in other projects.

With his fortune and restless spirit, the young Norwegian found in fashion and his hobbies a way to challenge the expectations that others might have of a multimillionaire heir. While SalMar continues to consolidate itself as a salmon giant, Gustav Jr. continues to explore his own path, demonstrating that, for him, work and passion go hand in hand.
