  • Forecast supply growth for calendar 2021 of 2.3%1 is lower than demand growth or historical supply growth
  • Both domestic and international markets for salmon remain in long term demand growth
• Efficiency benefits
• • Efficiencies continued to be delivered with cost of production falling to $9.65/HOG kg
  • • Cost of production in the first half of FY2021, the lowest in 5 years
  • Technology projects completed in the last three years have delivered:
  • • increased smolt size to sea,
    • Improved growth and survival rates at sea, and
    • improved feed conversion rates

• Channel Mix
• • Revised target production of 35,000t for FY2021 as supply was managed to meet the disruption to demand as global markets slowly adjusted to operating in a COVID restricted environment

  • The retail channel performed strongly with prices holding and record volumes delivered
  • • Strong growth (+ 184%) in Huon's online sales, with returning customer rate up 12% on pcp
  • Wholesale volumes recovered despite disruption from the lock down in Victoria and the hotel, catering and event industry continuing to operate under restricted conditions
  • Contracted sales into international retail markets grew strongly, albeit at reduced prices, with good progress in diversifying markets throughout Asia and into the US
