UK industry authority Seafish premiered its new film exploring the multi-billion pound seafood processing industry on 3 November in London to an invited audience from the industry.
The showing of ‘The Business of Processing’ provided an opportunity for the UK fisheries industry to get a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges the processing sector faces in turning the seafood that is landed and imported into the UK into products for public consumption in the foodservice sector and at home.
Produced by Seafish, The Business of Processing explores the economic and market pressures that drive innovation in the industry, and takes a look at a crucial steps in a fish product’s journey from the sea to our tables.
Profiling processing facilities in Grimsby, the north west of Scotland and the south west of England, the film gives business owners and managers in other parts of the supply chain a better understanding of the unique challenges seafood processing presents across the UK.
The Business of Processing’s collaborative message aims to demonstrate how a united UK fisheries industry can gain an even greater share of the global market.
Paul Williams, chief executive of Seafish, who welcomed the new film also thanked those involved for telling their stories, said, "We hope that 'The Business of Processing' will help policy-makers, retailers and consumers alike have a greater understanding of the business aspects of the seafood supply chain.”
The film will be publically released on the Seafish You Tube Channel on 1 December 2014.
