Investment in the seafood business is running hot these days.
Whether it is private-equity investors scooping up a stake in a fishing company that owns guaranteed fishing quota, or companies pouring money into land-based aquaculture systems, or even Silicone Valley venture capitalists taking a chance on vegan and lab-produced seafood alternatives, there is no doubt we are in an unprecedented era of seafood investment.
Banks such as Rabobank, DNB and countless other private equity investors are jumping into seafood, betting that the sector, fueled by growth in aquaculture and the sustainability of wild fisheries, will continue to grow and produce ever-increasing amounts of protein necessary to feed a world population that is headed toward 9 billion humans.
