en.Wedoany.com Reported - Loreto Seguel, Executive President of the Chilean Salmon Council, held a working meeting with Minister of Agriculture Jaime Campos. Under the framework of the "Agriculture-Salmon Alliance," both parties explored prospects for cooperation between salmon farming and the agri-food sector.

The meeting focused on analyzing opportunities to strengthen production chain linkages between the two major industries, covering areas such as innovation, regional development, traceability, and food safety. Both sides agreed that this synergy holds strategic significance for the growth of southern Chile.

The "Agriculture-Salmon Alliance" was jointly established two years ago by SAGO, SOFO, CAS, SNA, and the Salmon Council, with the goal of developing a joint roadmap to promote production collaboration between the two industries. The alliance currently includes multiple industry associations.

Seguel stated at the meeting: "When production sectors form linkages, Chile grows and develops. Today, there are already deep and concrete connections between the salmon farming industry and agriculture. The challenge lies in planning with a long-term vision, incorporating more innovation, added value, and regional development."

She added: "A major value of the 'Agriculture-Salmon Alliance' is connecting actors who belong to the same production chain but previously did not know each other well. This platform helps us better understand the needs, challenges, and opportunities of each industry, building a shared vision for the development of southern Chile. The salmon farming industry is not only a national strategic export sector but also a production chain engine that connects regions, knowledge, and employment. Strengthening its integration with the agri-food sector helps propel Chile towards a more sustainable and competitive path."

Currently, approximately 60% of the nutritional components in salmon feed come directly or indirectly from the agri-food sector, reflecting the close production interdependence between the two industries.
