There are great opportunities in Iceland for increased value creation through growth in aquaculture, both at sea and on land. In recent years, production and value creation in Icelandic aquaculture has multiplied, especially from salmon farming. Production there has gone from almost 1,100 tons in 2011 to almost 44,000 tons in 2023. The increased importance of the export of aquaculture products has increased the stability of the Icelandic economy, and the economy now rests on more diverse exports than before. We therefore need to keep a clear focus on the future ahead. Value creation is up for grabs if we have the courage to aim high and take the right decisions.
