Aquaculture for all

Getting caught up in your FX decisions?

Economics

Both importers and exporters of aquaculture in the UK continue to contribute a significant portion to the country’s GDP. Over the 10 years through 2022-2023, industry value added is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.5%. This is faster than the UK economy, which is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2% over the same period.

For the aquaculture industry, exports are expected to account for over 60% industry revenue in the current year, so firms that have a strong presence in export markets are likely to do particularly well.

However, the success the aquaculture industry is at the mercy of global currency movements, which can rise and fall sharply. The seasonal nature of aquaculture imports and exports also means that there is an increased exposure to currency risk.

Due to the time, resources and expertise required to manage global payments and currency personally, it often makes sense to partner with a FX specialist. That way, you can rest assured that you will receive the most cost-effective global payments service while having the freedom to concentrate on your own core business.
