New Zealand, NZKS launch five-year Future Farming programme

New Zealand King Salmon Investments Ltd (NZKS) has partnered with the New Zealand government to launch the Future Farming programme, a five-year initiative under the Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures fund.

With a total expected value of $29 million, including up to $11.7 million from the government, the programme aims to advance sustainable salmon farming in New Zealand, particularly in open ocean environments. The initiative is expected to bolster industry growth, enhance investor confidence, and contribute to the country's aquaculture sector by deploying new technologies and breeding strategies.

The programme's success could unlock significant growth and support the industry's long-term viability amid climate challenges.

NZKS operates in the aquaculture industry, focusing on the farming and production of king salmon. The company is committed to sustainable practices and is exploring innovative technologies to enhance its operations, particularly in open ocean environments.
