Organic Sea Harvest Business Statement

4th March 2025

‘Organic Sea Harvest is the only new salmon farming business to have been created in Scotland for many years, an achievement that we have, and continue to, celebrate. We’ve produced fantastic quality farmed organic salmon that has been in high demand and enjoyed by people around the world.

'Despite these successes, the challenging and slow pace of the planning and regulatory system in Scotland has resulted in Organic Sea Harvest reaching the end of its financial resources. Consequently, a decision has been made to fallow both existing farms until refinancing can be agreed for the business, including for the development of a new farm near Balmaqueen.

'Sadly, the fallowing of our existing sites will result in redundancies in our workforce. Our immediate focus will be on helping our people through this difficult time and, where possible, supporting them in finding alternative employment.’
