Seafood seminar discusses ways to boost Irish industry’s profitability

Adding value and scale is the big challenge facing the seafood sector, 50 seafood companies heard at a networking seminar yesterday in the Radisson Hotel, Dublin Airport.

The food companies looked at how to achieve scale via processing and identifying routes to overseas markets at yesterday’s seminar with experts from fisheries organisation Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) and others.

BIM also suggested that the pooling of individual companies’ resources would boost profitability, reduce time to market, and improve customer service.
