The fishing industry is the most important source of income on the Faroe Islands, accounting for more than 95 per cent of our export volume. Faroe Seafood is the largest producer of fish products on the islands and buys approximately 38 per cent of the total Faroese catch. Our products are processed on the eight Faroe Seafood plants, all of which are HACCP-approved and certified by the Faroese Food and Environmental Agency.

FAROESE CONSERVATION REPORT WELCOMED
The report, "FO fisheries and aquaculture.pdf", on the responsible management for a sustainable future of Faroe Islands fisheries and aquaculture has been welcomed by Faroe Seafood.
The report, by the Ministry of Fisheries and Natural Resources, in cooperation with other relevant government ministries, agencies, scientific institutes and fisheries associations, described the effort management system which protects ground fish in the Faroese 200 miles fisheries zone.
Cod, haddock, coley and other ground fish stocks are regulated by an effort management system of fishing days, combined with area closures. The total fishing effort and the number of fishing licences are fixed by law.
