Norwegian Coho Salmon's Impact on Prices and Farmer Apprehension

The price of Norwegian salmon has dropped over the past two weeks, defying seasonal projections. Salmon farmers express concern as Coho Salmon makes its way into certain European Union (EU) markets at notably lower prices than Atlantic Salmon, boasting comparable quality, particularly in color. The surge in Coho Salmon exports, coupled with increased production volumes of Atlantic Salmon compared to the same period previous year and a steady consumption trend, emerges as a potential driver for this recent price decrease, prompting apprehension within the industry.
