Join Our Conference Session
How to meet European consumers’ expectations: new insights and real-world responses
📍 Wednesday, April 22 | 12:30-13:15
This session is open to all and does not require an SEG conference badge.
European seafood consumers are evolving—and their expectations are reshaping the marketplace. This session will explore recently released GlobeScan research on consumer attitudes toward seafood in France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, followed by a discussion with a marketplace representative and a Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP)-certified producer. In the discussion, we will examine what the data means for the European market and how third-party certification and responsible practices can help meet consumer expectations and build trust.
Coffee and refreshments will be provided after the session.
