CEO of Blue Star Foods John Keeler will be speaking at a World Trade Organization (WTO) conference on October 3rd in Geneva, Switzerland.
The WTO’s Trade for Sustainable Development Forum is one of the leading global conferences focused on sustainable value chains. Blue Star Foods is a leader in pasteurized crabmeat and has developed a unique API-connected application as a fishery improvement initiative to guarantee the longevity of the Blue Swimming Crab Species.
CEO John Keeler will be speaking at this high-level event entitled “Mainstreaming Trade to Attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).” His speech will discuss Blue Star’s role in sustainable development and the part of technology in the Blue Swimming Crab fishery.
The pro-trade conference comes at a time when seafood has been the target of protectionist policies, particularly in the United States. Both the World Trade Organization and Blue Star Foods agree that pro-trade policies are a catalyst for economic development.
CEO John Keeler Said: “The betterment of the fisheries and the lives of those engaged in the artisanal harvesting of Blue Swimming Crab has been a goal of Blue Star Foods. WTO provides Blue Star Foods the opportunity to present our accomplishments to a global audience with the hopes that other organizations engaged in the global seafood economy will follow our example.”
Blue Star Foods is a vertically integrated seafood processor, employing thousands and producing millions of pounds of seafood products annually.
