Some analysts are “overestimating” the impact land-based salmon farming will have on global production growth in the next few years, according to Johan Andreassen, from Atlantic Sapphire.

Currently constructing a giant land-based facility in Miami, Andreassen is clearly a believer in the concept, but thinks some analysts are expecting a little bit too much, too soon.

The Atlantic Sapphire facility has plans to farm around 90,000 metric tons of salmon by 2026, which he thinks is realistic.

“I think some are overestimating the impact of land-based on production growth in the first few years,” said Andreassen.
