Your complete guide for preparing your visit to Iceland, the exhibition and awards
The Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition has been running every three years since 1984 and has developed into one of the worlds premier fishing events. Some 13,000m2 of exhibition area inside and outside is home to nearly 800 exhibitors from over 35 countries during the four day show. Iceland is in the forefront of embracing and manufacturing the latest products that are driving the industry. This should come as no surprise when you are considering a nation with 62% of total exports coming from fish or fish related products. The value of Icelands seafood export currently amounts to almost 1.5 billion US$ and by choosing to stay outside of the European Union Iceland has ensured that it has maintained total control of its own fish stocks and quotas.
