"The big winner of the past five years has been a very
cheap fish called pangasius, which is mainly produced in Vietnam, but also in
the Netherlands," Dekker said. As western consumers become more
health-conscious, demand for fish has surged and aquaculture is booming.
More salmon is now farmed than fished wild, and appetites for both high-value fish such as sea-bass and turbot and cheap white-fish such as pangasius represent a growth opportunity.
Nutreco also wants to acquire firms to help it develop ingredients that boost the nutritional value of animal feed, making it less reliant on raw materials.
