Consumers are becoming more conscious of the impact of their food choices on the environment and are opting for responsibly-sourced and sustainably-caught fish and seafood. This shift is driven by cultural values of respect for nature and a desire for healthier and more ethical food options. As a result, there has been a rise in demand for certified sustainable seafood and eco-friendly packaging in the market.

This trend is driven by consumer demand for transparency and responsible sourcing.
