Ireland casts global net to land seafood sales of over €800m

IRISH companies are playing a key role in steering a course for the €803 million seafood industry.

This was obvious at the recent European Seafood Exposition in Brussels, where 27 companies from Ireland exhibited on the Board Iascaigh Mhara pavilion.

These companies have adopted a positive attitude despite the many difficulties facing the industry from rising production costs, reduced fish quotas and a growth in imports.
