The May Fair Hotel theatre hosted the film’s premiere giving the UK fisheries industry 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.
The film builds on last year’s The Business of Fishing, which focused on the UK’s catching sector. The Business of Processing explores the economic and market pressures that drive innovation in the industry, and takes a look at crucial steps in a fish products journey from the sea to dinner tables.
Paul Williams, chief executive of Seafish, said: This film gives a fresh insight into seafood processing and the people behind the industry. The film delves into the processing industry across the UK and tells the story of those who continue to drive progress towards the demystification of the supply chain and a more efficient, sustainable and profitable seafood industry. 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 1st December 2014.
