Norwegian cod farming company Statt Torsk ASA is to adapt its harvest strategy, with the move accelerating its year-round deliveries of farmed cod.
With its new harvest plan, the Stad-headquartered company expects to start delivering fresh, healthy and sustainable farmed cod to its European customers on a consistent weekly basis from the second-half of 2022, which is more than a year ahead of its original plans.
“Stable year around harvest is a pre-requisite to build a sustainable market position and to develop the farmed cod category. Statt is also in the process of strengthening its sales and marketing organization to develop products and brands in cooperation with clients,” it said in a statement.
“In parallel, the company will continue its gradual build-up of an efficient production cluster and value chain in the Stad municipality, maintaining its targeted harvest volumes of 12,000 tonnes per year.”
Between 2016 and 2021, Statt Torsk carried out three pilot production projects to clarify whether its commercial production of Atlantic cod was possible.
The company now has commercial production at two sites in Vanylvsfjorden.
