The South Australian seafood industry is set to be further strengthened through a new industry-wide peak body with representation across the seafood sectors.
The State Government is providing $300,000 to establish Seafood Industry South Australia Incorporated, delivering on a long-standing call from key figures within the seafood industry for a voice that represents the common interests of all seafood sectors, including wild catch, aquaculture, fish processors and retailers.
The new peak body will be industry-led and independent and will work with the State Government and stakeholders to represent the needs and interests of our state’s world-renowned seafood industry.
The South Australian seafood industry is incredibly important to our state's economy, directly employing 6700 people and generating approximately $440 million from the wild catch and aquaculture sectors alone. It has a long history of providing sustainable, first class produce to not only South Australians, but people all over the world.
