Sustainability and the consumer
Sustainability and eco-certifications were among the big topics at NASF 2013 -- but the question if consumers really care needs to be asked too.
"Customer themselves don’t show a huge interest in sustainability," said Alexander Wever, founder of seafood consultancy AWF and a previous manager of the seafood categories at German retailers Globus and METRO.
"It's more about quality and price," he said.
Regal Spring's Rudolf Lamprecht voiced his frustration about the sheer endless number of certification systems to delegates at the whitefish panel.
