The Association of Seafood Producers is a not-for-profit corporation which represents the interests of seafood producers generally in the Province of Newfoundland & Labrador (NL), Canada. Our objectives are, among others, to:

• Provide effective input into policy decisions and regulatory matters, at all levels of Government;

• Participate in programs of direct benefit to the whole industry (e.g., grading, research and development); and

• Promote a positive image of the industry.

Current Members operate upwards to 60 processing plants in rural communities, providing employment for thousands of individuals.

Member-Producer plant payrolls for 2005 approached $100 million. 

Association membership represents a substantial part of the provincial processing industry — with two thirds of the inshore shrimp and crab production and almost half of all cod production.

Member Sales are in the order of approximately $650 million annually (NL production)
