The Federations of Cofradías de Pescadores de Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, together with the Hazilur Public Society, have created the Cofradía Basque Seafood, S.A. It is a new company based in Ondarroa to modernize and strengthen the inshore fishing sector in the Basque Country.
As reported by the Basque Government, the new company has acquired the production unit of the former Pesqueria Ondarroa, S.A., which was in competition with creditors and in the process of liquidation, to ensure the maintenance of all jobs and the continuation of the transformation activity.
The Brotherhood was born with the aim of promoting cooperation between the Basque Seafood fisheries institutions and the instruments of public financial promotion, within the framework of the Basque Government's strategy for the transformation and modernisation of the primary sector.
The Minister for Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries, Amaia Barredo, has stressed that this initiative "takes a further step towards building a modern, sustainable and forward-looking Basque fishing model" and that the sector itself "actively participates in the value chain and in the creation of quality jobs".
Among the main innovations, the company will develop a new line of products from the fourth and fifth range, based on theproduction of sliced, packed and ready to cook fish, as well as the production of prepared dishes ready for consumption, all from Cantabrian fish and with strict quality and durability standards.
The projectrepresents a qualitative leap in the development strategy of the Basque inshore sector, as it brings added value, adapts to new consumption trends and strengthens the competitiveness of the primary sector.
