Norwegian salmon exports fall, despite increase in volume
Year to date, Norway has exported 909,000 tonnes of salmon worth NOK 59 billion. This is a volume increase of 2 per cent, and a value increase of 7 per cent or NOK 4 billion compared to the same period last year. The average price for whole fresh salmon in November was NOK 50.68 per kg against NOK 61.71 per kg November 2016. Poland and France were the largest salmon markets in November.
After five weeks with a sustained increase in exports of Norwegian salmon to China, it is now at the highest level for two years.
"Currently, Norwegian salmon goes to the main destinations Beijing and Shanghai, and importers report that import processes have become simpler. A significant and positive step towards the normalization of salmon exports to China”, says Sigmund Bjørgo, with the Norwegian Seafood Council´s Fisheries Mission in China.
