The Difficult Raw Materials – Hooked on Scarcity
Wednesday, September 23rd at 09:00–12:30
The availability of marine feed raw materials is under severe pressure. Other salmon-producing countries often use alternative raw materials that the Norwegian aquaculture industry chooses not to utilise. At the raw materials seminar during AquaNext, we bring together key stakeholders from industry, finance, and research to discuss how the feed industry and aquaculture sector can address these challenges in practice. What choices have we made that have worked when we have successfully adopted new raw materials, and what lessons should we carry forward? Through technical presentations, market perspectives, and panel discussions, participants will gain insight into the current raw material situation, future demand, and the opportunity space that lies in new and alternative solutions.
What will the next raw material crisis be, and who is responsible for taking action before it hits? What choices have worked when we have successfully adopted new raw materials, and what lessons should we carry forward? Through technical presentations, market perspectives, and panel discussions, participants will gain insight into the current raw material situation, future demand, and the opportunity space that lies in new and alternative solutions.
