After two years 'rife with upheaval' salmon farmer Grieg shoots for ambitious growth targets

Jun 15, 2022

International salmon farmer Grieg Seafood today confirmed ambitious plans for growth, targeting annual harvest volumes of 90,000 metric tons in 2022 and 120-135,000 metric tons in 2026.

Grieg harvested 75,600 metric tons in 2021. While representing a 6 percent increase over 2020, it fell short of the company's 80,000-metric-ton target.

The new targets reflect an expected harvest hike of 19 percent from last year and a five-year increase of up to 79 percent.

With traditional Norwegian netpen production at its limit, meeting these new targets will depend on successful utilization of the company's farming current capacity and on available expansion opportunities and new concepts.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
