Bakkafrost Early Days[edit]

Bakkafrost initially focused on catching and processing herring in the Faroese fjords, offering spiced and marinated herring fillets. By 1972, the company expanded with the construction of a second processing plant in Glyvrar. In 1977, Bakkafrost diversified its operations by packaging flatfish from other Faroese fish producers for the UK market. This strategic move aimed to stabilize the business in response to declining herring volumes. The year 1979 marked a significant shift as Bakkafrost ventured into fish farming, becoming one of the pioneering companies in the Faroe Islands to do so. Subsequently, in the 1980s, the company embarked on the development of processing blue whiting into mince and surimi within the Faroe Islands. However, the blue whiting stock experienced a drastic decline in 1990, leading to financial challenges for Bakkafrost and the entire sector. In response, P/F Bakkafrost was officially incorporated as SP/F Faroe Salmon in 1986 by Jón Purkhús and Heini Gregersen. This marked the commencement of farmed salmon and smolt production for the company. User110022 (talk) 16:49, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
