New group to represent seafood sector

UMBRELLA group IFA Aquaculture has been launched to represent producers in the seafood sector.

Deputy president Ruadhrí Deasy said the IFA has had members in the fish-farming sector since 1991, but is fully embracing the industry in all its modern diversity under the new organisational structure.

The IFA had given great service to the salmon farming sector and more recently to shellfish producers. It wants to build on that success by improving its representative structure.
