Label Rouge Scottish Salmon
Scottish Farmed Salmon was the first fish and non-French product to achieve the prestigious Label Rouge award back in 1992. For over 10 years it remained the only non-French food to meet the quality scheme's rigorous standards, recognition by the French authorities of the rigorous standards applied by our independently inspected Product Certification Schemes. |

The exports of Label Rouge Scottish salmon to France increased for the sixth consecutive year, from 2493 tonnes in 1997 to 5837 tonnes in 2003 - an increase of almost 120%.
French consumers are also prepared to pay a premium of around 25% for Label Rouge Scottish salmon - which now accounts for almost 30% of total salmon exports to France. |
