Five million for fish production: Pöttinger's flagship operations in the focus

In a remarkable development, domestic fish production is promoted by a massive investment. An amount of five million euros, provided by the European Sea and Fishing Fund (EMFAF), is to flow into the improvement and expansion of the sector. This initiative was launched by agricultural councilor Michaela Langer-Weninger and aims to increase the local economy and the quality of fish production.

The company Hoffisch from Pötting was highlighted in this context as a showcase. He exemplifies the efforts to raise fish farming in Austria to a new level. The decision to support comes at a critical time, since the demand for domestic fish products increases and it is necessary to find sustainable solutions to reconcile both the environment and the economy.

fiskale support from Europe

The EMFAF, which was founded to promote the competitiveness of fishing and aquaculture sectors in the EU, is a key source for this financial support. With these funds you want to boost production, but also make investments in the infrastructure and technology of fish breeding.

The funding will enable them to enable them to develop modern breeding techniques and work more efficiently. This is not only advantageous for the producers themselves, but also ensures better products on the shelf, which ultimately benefits consumers.
