Pareto analyst Sander Lie shares his thoughts on the Land Based and New technology Investor Seminar at NASF 2024

The inaugural Pareto Seafood Investor Seminar Land Based & New Technology at NASF 2023 became a huge success. The room was packed, and the organizers received very positive feedback from both presenters and delegates.

At NASF 2024 in March we will continue this venture and further investigate into the landbased sector and new technology initiatives, all from an investor perspective.

We have spoken to Sander Lie at Pareto Securities about his expectation for this session during the upcoming NASF 2024.

We expect high interest in this session this year as well. Several of the landbased salmon farmers are closing in on proof of concept for the first phase of their production cycles, and some of the players are starting to report operational metrics. 2024 will be an exciting year for the industry, where we believe several of the players will reach new milestones.

We believe both landbased and offshore farming will be important additions to the industry in the years to come, where growth potential already is limited through regulations and where it is increasingly difficult to obtain new licences.

There has also been a lot of focus on biology in the last couple of months and throughout the year. New technology can help solve some of the challenges we see in conventional farming today. At the seminar, we also expect to get more insight into submersible and closed-cage farming, which we believe will become an increasingly important part of the industry the next couple of years.

Last but not least, I’m excited to see how some of the projects have developed just since last year.
