The trade body for Scottish salmon wrote to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak ahead of today's Perth hustings to highlight government action needed to support vital growth.

Salmon Scotland is delighted to welcome nine new members to our organisation, spanning a variety of aquaculture support companies helping to advance the Scottish salmon sector.

Primary production in the Scottish farm-raised salmon sector is focused around the west coast, highlands and islands in remote and rural areas of Scotland. Scottish salmon farming helps to ensure that some of the country’s most remote communities not only survive, but truly thrive.

As the country's leading food export, farm-raised Scottish salmon has helped breathe new life into many of our fragile rural and islands communities.

Salmon Scotland is delighted to expand our membership to include partners from our supply chain. This is in recognition of the essential role they play in supporting our Scottish salmon producers and the significant and sustainable contribution they make to local and national economies.

In 2022, Salmon Scotland was pleased to expand its membership to include twelve new partners from its supply chain including Aquascot.
