The Supreme Land and Environmental Court did not approve an appeal of new fish farming permits in Sweden, Västerbotten region, Kaskeluokt, which gave final effect to the County and Environmental Court’s decision at the beginning of the year in favor of e.g. AS PRFood’s Swedish subsidiary Överumans Fisk Ab.
In 2020, Överumans Fisk Ab, a subsidiary of AS PRFoods, received permission to establish additional fish farming in Kaskeluokt, Västerbotten, Sweden. The permit allowed the use of 2400 tons of feed for an estimated up to 2200 tons of fish. The permit decision was appealed by a local resident and by Överumans Fisk Ab itself to obtain further conditional feed use. According to the County Administrative and Environmental Court’s decision, the municipal resident’s complaint was rejected and Överumans Fisk Ab’s complaint was granted, which meant that the company has the right to use up to 3,600 tonnes of feed per year on the basis of a permit. The Supreme Land and Environmental Court did not uphold the appeal submitted against the decision in favor of Õveruman Fisk Ab, which was finally enforced as a result of the decision of the said County and Environmental Court.
The above means that Överuman’s Fish Ltd has finally achieved an annual increase in the amount of fish feed of 3,600 tonnes. Överumans Fisk Ab plans to start using the licenses as early as 2022. With the introduction of the new license, Överumans Fisk Abs’ turnover will increase approximately 3.5 times compared to recent years and depending on the price of fish, the annual turnover should exceed 15 million euros per year .
