The document summarizes discussions from the PrimeFish 2nd Annual Meeting in Barcelona on creating collective brands for farmed fish productions. Creating a collective brand was presented as a way to differentiate products and increase sales and value. A successful brand requires producers maintaining quality over time, communicating the brand's advantages to consumers through advertisements, and all producers using the same brand identity. While the Spanish aquaculture industry does not yet have a fully successful collective brand, efforts are underway to develop a geographical brand that will create competitive advantages over cheaper imports.

for better negotiation
capacity with retailers

improved and help
to differentiate
our product at the
