August 14, 2025 | 1 min to read
In July, Norway exported seafood valued at NOK 13.9 billion, marking an 8 percent increase from the previous year, driven by high salmon volumes and growth in exports to China. So far this year, seafood exports have reached NOK 99 billion, matching the total from all of 2018. According to Christian Chramer, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council, despite challenging global trade conditions, Norwegian seafood maintains a strong market position.
Norway exported seafood worth NOK 13.9 billion in July. This is an increase of NOK 1.1 billion, or 8 per cent, compared with the same month last year.
“Seafood exports have had a historically strong July in terms of value. This is primarily due to high salmon volumes and impressive value growth to China,” says Christian Chramer, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council.
Approaching NOK 100 billion in Export Value
So far this year, Norway has exported seafood worth NOK 99 billion. This is exactly the same value as in the whole of 2018.
“Despite the fact that world trade is experiencing demanding times and competition in the market is tough, seafood from Norway has a strong global position. This is also true in the middle of summer,” says Christian Chramer.
