04 Apr 2024 --- The Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP) has raised the alarm over the stagnation of aquaculture production within the EU, a trend contrasted by the sector’s explosive growth globally. The federation attributes this slowdown to the excessive bureaucratic hurdles and challenges in acquiring licenses for new fish farms, effectively turning fish farming in the EU into a near-impossible feat.According to the FEAP, this issue transcends the aquaculture sector, impacting the broader food production industries at a time when the relocation of strategic industries and food security are of key importance.
