Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 A little side note: Even though the Norwegian's may be up front owners of some fish farms, delve into where their monies come from. The Japanese are heavy customers & thus in actuality set market prices. It is very common for the Japanse to be " silent " partners in many companies-internationally at large. They are about as silent as a lead brick. They dictate the price they will pay for fish, & so goes life. They UPFRONT cash hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the fish every season; to run/upgrade the processing plants; even for purchasing & equiping of fishing vessels & many of these vessels cost millions of dollars (well not for salmon fishing, but for other species; though a " floating " fish processor does cost millions). Fact is they call the shots, even if it is from the background. You might be surprised to know how much of the beef & grain market they control in the US too. After all, they own ConAgra & have so for decades now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
