added processing in 2022
•Prices for 2021-sales expected to be set within the next weeks
•500-600 tons WFE to be harvested from end November 2021 until mid-January 2022
•3,000 tons WFE to be harvested at Stad in 2022
Gustave Brun-Lie, CEO of Statt Torsk AS (“Statt”) comments:
“The production is performing well in both facilities. The biomass is healthy with the expected growth rate, feed conversion rate and mortality rate, supporting our cost and quality targets for the future.
Many exciting milestones are ahead of us the next coming months. We will start harvesting and processing at the end of November, at Stad. Our plant is ready, one year ahead of plan. Having inhouse control of the processing at Stad is part of plan to reduce our cost and gives us increased flexibility in harvesting.
In a few weeks we will have a first indication of what price we will achieve in the market, and how the market responds to our product. In close cooperation with Lerøy, we are now entering into concrete discussions with our customers. Our goal is to achieve prices that reflects the true uniqueness of the Statt cod. The oncoming harvest and sales of 500-600 tons will run until mid-January 2022.
We have applied for 1 additional location. We are ready to apply for 2 additional locations within a short period of time. In only 3 years, Statt will increase harvest volumes from 500-600 tons to 3,000 tons in 2022, 4,000 tons in 2023, towards the target of 12,000 tons annually from 2024.”
