Chilean salmon producer Multiexport Foods continues to sell salmon to Chinese consumers through its super premium "Golden" fresh line, shrugging off the difficulties faced by other producers after consumers shunned salmon from the South American nation amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of its marketing pitch to Chinese shoppers, Multiexport is highlighting the fish's Patagonian origin and emphasizing its ability to deliver fish that's both fresh and safe -- a critical message given the massive hit salmon's reputation took following the discovery in June of COVID-19 on a cutting board in a Beijing wholesale seafood market.
