Achyuth Iyengar, Regional Marketing Director at DSM Nutritional Products APAC, opened the day underlying the pivotal role of aquaculture in feeding our future generations. Iyengar started by reminding the audience of the enormous impact of Asian aquaculture on global production; seven of the top ten global aquaculture producing countries being in Asia. It is projected that globally, seafood consumption is estimated to increase by some 30 million tonnes by 2030 due to the rise in global population. “It is essential that this demand for seafood be met through the sustainable growth of aquaculture which will contribute to zero hunger, poverty alleviation and sustainable utilisation of natural resources” said Iyengar.
