Bord Iascaigh Mhara seeks to protect salmon market

Bord Iascaigh Mhara will meet leading seafood processors in the coming weeks to discuss financial and advisory supports to protect Ireland’s €92m domestic salmon market.

Following its meeting with 12 Irish seafood processors in the Maldron Hotel, Portlaoise, BIM hopes all seafood companies will suggest solutions for the salmon sector to the new Domestic Seafood Council.

Recent high price increases for salmon have led to volatility and difficult trading conditions in the domestic market.
