  • Scottish Salmon Sector Reacts to SNP-Green Deal
August 20th 2021

Tavish Scott, Chief Executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation, said: "Scotland's salmon farming sector has always recognised the need for a good working relationship with SNP government ministers who, in turn, have acknowledged the important role we play not only in island and rural communities but right across Scotland.

"We hope the strong and supportive partnership we have with government will continue during this parliamentary session, whatever the makeup of the ministerial team.

"It is essential that everyone in government understands our sector. That is why we now hope to begin constructive discussions with all Green MSPs, in the same way as we already work with MSPs from other parties."

"There are parts of today's agreement on which we seek further information. But for aquaculture this can be a constructive starting point."
