With our ambitions, it is, nevertheless, that we are constantly working to develop new markets. Although we do not sell a lot of fish to Iran today, there is great potential. Each iraner eat only eight kilos of fish a year, but Iran is the world’s fastest growing market for processed fish, says Sandberg.
