Salmon Chief Welcomes Rises in Jobs, Production and Value

Scott Landsburgh, chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation (SSPO), has welcomed the publication of new figures by the Scottish Government today that show a growth in employment, production and the value of Scottish farmed salmon.

Landsburgh said: "The third successive annual increase in production, a rise in direct employment by around seven per cent and the increase in value, is great news for the many rural economies reliant on the sector and the Scottish economy as a whole.

"With market demand at home and abroad very high, responsibly farmed, superior salmon represents one of the biggest opportunities for sustainable economic growth in Scotland."
