ENJOY THE QUALITY OF ICELANDIC FISH

For the longest time, the Icelandic fisheries industry has been our most powerful export sector and a pillar of the nation’s foreign currency acquisition. However, the growth of the sector is limited by nature, and it is therefore necessary to increase the value of Icelandic seafood products through co-ordinated marketing activities based on origin, sustainability and innovation.
