April 22, 2021 — The seafood industry’s managing of the COVID-19 crisis can be used as a blueprint for how it can meet other challenges it will face in the future, according to IFFO, The Marine Ingredients Organization Director General Petter Martin Johannessen.
In an IFFO webinar on 20 April, Johannessen said COVID-19 presented the seafood industry with unprecdented challenges, but also gave an opportunity to adapt the way that it works. And with the expectation that there will be continued – or possibly accelerated – market growth once the pandemic subsides, the industry has the ability to lock in improved practices for the future, he said.
