Exhibit

Why exhibit?

Iceland is heavily dependent on fishing and fish related products with over 35% of the country’s export coming from these sources. .

Salmon farming is growing rapidly in Iceland and it is expected that the country’s production could increase threefold from 2021 levels to 100,000 tonnes.

Skippers and owners of 1,561 registered vessels modernise their fleets on an ongoing basis, and most companies have been showing record profits in 2022. Processing and value added increasingly continue to be focussed back to Iceland from abroad for the 1,258 million tonnes of caught fish.

Iceland pioneer’s in fish utilisation and reduced their landfill waste from the annual catch to only 2% in 2022. Icefish’ Fishwaste For Profit Conference covers this topic with industry experts over 1 ½ days during the show.

The combination of all of the above provides exhibitors with the perfect platform to meet and discuss new business requirements.

The Exhibition will cover every aspect of the commercial fishing industry from catching and locating to processing and packaging, right through to marketing and distribution of the final product.

Added focus for 2024 will again include a dedicated area for Processing, Seafood, Aquaculture, Commercialisation of Fish by-products and Value added to enhance the visitor experience.
