Strong September Secures Solid Quarter for Norwegian Seafood Exports
October 10, 2024 | 1 min to read
In the third quarter, Norway exported seafood valued at NOK 44.1 billion, marking a 5 percent increase over the previous year, driven by significant exports of salmon, trout, mackerel, and prawns. Christian Chramer, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council, noted that September's exceptional export value contributed to this record quarter, with minimal impact from currency fluctuations due to the similar year-over-year comparison.
Norway exported seafood worth NOK 44.1 billion in the third quarter. This is an increase of NOK 2.2 billion, or 5 per cent, compared with the same period last year.
“Thanks to a historically high export value in September, we have put behind us the best third quarter ever. This time there is virtually no currency effect from a weak Norwegian krone, since we are comparing with the same period last year. High volumes of salmon, trout, mackerel and prawns are driving up the export value,” says Christian Chramer, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council.
