For six consecutive years, the sector has posted annual growth of 13%, a figure equivalent to twice the global average.

WSI is a showcase for leading retailers and wholesalers in segments ranging from systems, technology, fishing and aquaculture equipment to food preparation and packaging processes, distribution and logistics, wholesale seafood products, sustainability and general services.
