New Brunswick Seafood Producers Host French Delegation
The eleven-member delegation, including French seafood suppliers, producers and promoters such as Poissonnerie Vianey and the trade publication Produits de la Mer, has been travelling down the coast of the province.
The delegation has visited coastal communities from Caraquet to Miramichi, Shediac to Bayside, visiting with New Brunswick seafood producers such as Cooke Aquaculture, Acadian Sturgeon and Maison BeauSoleil.
This visit follows on the heels of the province’s appearance at the Seafood Expo Global in Barcelona in April which saw 30 exhibitors from across Atlantic Canada travel to Spain to promote their products. New Brunswick seafood exports to Europe increased by 84% in 2022, the largest growth of any region. In 2022 the European Union and the United Kingdom accounted for over $71 million in seafood exports from the picture province.
Seafood export sales from New Brunswick totaled $1.8 billion in 2022. The agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries industries in New Brunswick employ more than 17,000 people.
