• Other food sectors

A mong the other food industries, a particularly important one is that of fish processing which in Parma involves 3 industrial-sized companies in the processing of tuna, sardines, anchovies, mackerel and salmon. Especially in recent years, innovative products (such as low-sodium variants or target-oriented products) have joined the more traditional ones. The animal feed sector is represented by 9 large companies plus a number of small-scale enterprises. This sector has taken on an essential role in animal

husbandry because the quality and quantity of livestock production depend on it to best meet the needs of today’s food industry.
