Clipfish exports from Norway increased by 9% in 2017

So far this year, Norway exported 82,400 tonnes of clipfish worth NOK 3.8 billion. This represents a volume increase of 8,700 tonnes or 12 per cent and an increase in value of 10 per cent or NOK 331 million compared with the same period last year. Portugal and Brazil were the largest markets for Norwegian clipfish in November.

”We are pleased to see that prices for most cod products continues to increase. For one thing, the price of clipfish from cod has increased with 7 per cent so far this year, which is partly driven by a better economy and increased demand in one of our most important clipfish markets, Brazil” says Ingrid Kristine Pettersen, analyst with the Norwegian Seafood Council.

Norway exported 1,600 tonnes of salted fish with a value of NOK 74 million in November. This is a volume increase of 26 tonnes or 2 per cent and a value increase of 20 per cent or NOK 12 million compared with November 2016. So far this year, Norway has exported 27,000 tonnes of salted fish worth NOK 1.2 billion.
