In an exclusive interview with IntraFish, Chocair -- who says the industry could be back up to 2008 production levels by 2014 -- gives his views on the present state and future of Chile’s salmon industry.
IntraFish: Will the industry in Chile change owners in the process of restoration?
Jorge Chocair: Not necessarily. The current owners have obtained, or are in the process of obtaining, refinancing agreements with the banks. Some players have in fact grown during the crisis. A couple of the biggest players are listed on the stock exchange, and the stock exchange is dynamic.
