Increased Salmon Volumes and High Wild Fish Prices Drove Growth in Seafood Exports in March

Norway exported seafood worth NOK 15.5 billion in March. This represents an increase of NOK 522 million, or 3 per cent, compared with the same month last year.

“Norwegian seafood exports performed well in March, despite the war in the Middle East, a stronger Norwegian krone and a continued decline in exports to the US. This is largely due to increased salmon volumes, higher prices for several species such as salmon, cod, mackerel and saithe, as well as further growth in exports to China,” says Christian Chramer, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council.

So far this year, Norway has exported seafood worth NOK 43.8 billion. This represents a decline of NOK 449 million, or 1 per cent, compared with the same period last year.
