DuPont, which helped Chilean salmon farmer AquaChile launch Verlasso salmon, will no longer assist AquaChile with the marketing of the premium farmed salmon brand.
Dupont is divesting its interest in Verlasso, Wendy Rosen, a DuPont spokesperson, told IntraFish on Friday.
"DuPont is proud that is has been able to help change and shape farming practices in salmon aquaculture. However, Verlasso is making organizational changes to more effectively grow the business."
The change, effective Dec. 31, means "in addition to supply, logistics and sales support, AquaChile will take on marketing responsibilities for the Verlasso brand," she told IntraFish.
