A quarry at Kyleakin, Scotland, is the preferred site for Marine Harvest's new £80 million (€102 million/$114 million) fish feed plant, the company announced Tuesday.
The announcement was made after the company considered a number of different sites on the west coast. The site, known as Altanavaig (Allt Anabhaig) quarry, is more than large enough to accommodate the plant, which will create 55 full-time jobs.
The plans for the plant were announced in January this year. It will produce feed for use on its Scottish farms, as well as for Ireland, Norway and the Faroes.
