2020 has been a year of changes in consumer habits; and although they have not been the product of natu­ral trends; some habits seem to remain. This is the case with the consumption of canned fish and seafood.

That is why, the National Association of Fish Preserves (AN­FACO), reinforced at the end of 2020, these habits through the campaign ‘Cata la lata’, a message that – according to its Secretary-General, Juan Manuel Vieites – tried to identify fish and seafood canned products “as a nu­tritious, tasty and versatile food”.

According to Vieites, the key to the sector has been to invest in research, tech­nological development and digital transformation. It also recalled that it was “the first sector to develop a technology quality control centre” and boasted that “50% of our preserves are exported to more than 140 countries around the world”.
