Summary

Jersey oysters successfully exported via a new service in Granville.
This marks a significant step for the island's aquaculture industry.
The new route aims to reduce Brexit-related challenges and costs.

Jersey oysters have reached an encouraging milestone with their first successful export utilizing a new service at a facility in Granville, France. Officials have stated this marks an important step forward for the island's aquaculture industry.

The successful shipment through the Service d'Inspection Vétérinaire et Phytosanitaire (SIVEP) at the Port of Granville aims to reduce challenges and costs associated with Brexit. This initiative is expected to strengthen links with Normandy and support sustainable export opportunities for Jersey's seafood sector.

The Normandy Trader shipment, which took place on 21 October, demonstrated the new export route's efficiency, with all necessary veterinary checks being completed smoothly. This facility is the result of several years of collaborative effort between ministers, government officers, and French partners.
