Iceland’s salmon farming industry is set to really take off this year, with production forecast to grow nearly 50 percent compared with 2018, as more farms come on line and traditional obstacles to growth ease.
According to figures from Iceland’s Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST), Atlantic salmon production in the country is expected to grow 49 percent from 13,448 metric tons in 2018 to around 20,000 metric tons this year.
Gisli Jonsson, a veterinary officer with the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST), told
IntraFish the increase is mainly the result of more farms coming online.
“We have a new farm Arctic Sea Farm in Dyrafjördur which started harvesting salmon in January 2019,” said Jonsson.
