OPMEGA (Spain)
SME PartnerThe “Organización de Productores Mejilloneros de Galicia”, OPMEGA, is the main mussel producers organisation of Galicia. It was legally established in 1996 as inheritor of the former organisation OPMAR. At present, it includes 19 smaller lower-level associations distributed all over the Galician Rías (Vigo, Pontevedra, Arosa, Muros-Noia and Ares-Betanzos). OPMEGA controls the production of near 1900 rafts belonging to 1300 mussel farmers, which yielded, in 2002, 150.000 metric tonnes of mussels with a approximate market value of €60 million. Mr. Manuel Franco-Leis, the managing director, is the responsible person within BLUE SEED. |
