Chile's salmon farms hope for calmer waters
Chile's salmon farms are facing environmental challenges due to their locations in supposedly protected areas, sparking conflicts about pollution and sustainability issues. Despite being the world's second-largest exporter of farmed salmon, the industry is urging the government to define a long-term strategy for salmon farming expansion. With global demand for farmed salmon expected to rise, Chilean producers are seeking to increase production, but they face regulatory hurdles and environmental concerns that need to be addressed for the industry's sustainability and growth.
