Proximar Seafood AS: First harvest successfully completed - Proximar has sold the first Atlantic salmon to the Japanese market under the brand Fuji Atlantic Salmon

Proximar Seafood has, from its salmon facility at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, over the past two years prepared for the company’s first harvest– and the first harvest ever in Japan of domestically produced Atlantic salmon. The completion of the first commercial harvest is marking an operational and commercial pivotal milestone.

“Proximar is the only supplier of domestically produced Atlantic salmon in Japan, years ahead of competition. We have since October 2022 proven great production capabilities and fish growth, and I am now immensely proud to see all the hard work from our excellent team being commercially validated through the first harvest,” says Joachim Nielsen, CEO of Proximar Seafood.

Attractive prices and strong interest
The harvested salmon averaged ~4 kg HOG with 100% superior quality, and Proximar confirms that the price achievement aligns with the company’s expectations of premium prices compared to the import price to Japan of Norwegian Atlantic salmon.
