Japan will introduce cutting-edge technology to strengthen the development of aquaculture industry

The government is launching a new strategy aimed at enhancing the aquaculture sector by focusing on increasing both exports and the production of farmed fish. This initiative is set against a backdrop of significant challenges, including the high cost of fish meal, which accounts for 60%-70% of the production costs, and the surging prices of equipment and materials. These factors collectively contribute to the rising costs of production in the aquaculture industry.
