Watch: Australian mining magnate Andrew Forrest issues warning to JBS ahead of Huon deal

Forrest doubled his stake in Huon on Wednesday, and sent an implicit threat to JBS: make salmon farming sustainable, or you could be in for a shareholder fight.

The owner of the group, Tattarang Agrifood, is demanding JBS make commitments to sustainability, including using 'no fish in your fish meal so the fish farm doesn't make the depletion of the oceans even worse.' — The owner of the group, Tattarang Agrifood, is demanding JBS make commitments to sustainability, including using 'no fish in your fish meal so the fish farm doesn't make the depletion of the oceans even worse.'Foto: WILLIAM WEST/AFP via Getty Images/NTB scanpix
