Seafood transformation

The fish processing sector in north east Scotland generates more than £100 million gross value add (GVA) a year, contributes one-third of the region's food and drink manufacturing turnover and provides more than 4,000 direct full-time equivalent jobs. Half of the region's largest 25 food companies are fish processors. Peterhead is Europe's largest white fish port, and Fraserburgh is Scotland's largest shellfish port.

Seafood transformation aims to maximise the seafood sector opportunity for north east Scotland and identify actions and investment to drive a step-change in efficiency and productivity. The focus is to identify significant short to medium term actions and develop these into a funded and deliverable plan to increase the value of the sector in the region. With the right support, the catching and processing of seafood can become a more significant growth industry and make a bigger contribution to the region's economy and Scotland.

Priority areas for action and investment include market and product development, processing innovation and advanced manufacturing facilities, and sustainability programmes for energy, waste and provenance.

Opportunity North East (ONE) is currently leading the business case development for an industry-wide investment programme, working with the Scottish Seafood Association, Seafood Scotland, Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise, Aberdeenshire Council and Aberdeen City Council.
