In April, Norway saw a significant increase in seafood exports, with a value of NOK 12.9 billion, despite a decrease in volume to 160,000 tonnes, the lowest since 2007. This increase is primarily due to a currency effect, with the weak Norwegian krone driving up values. Aquaculture products, including salmon, trout, and cod, accounted for 78% of the total export value. The United States, Denmark, and China were the markets with the greatest value growth, with salmon being the key driver. However, there was a fall in the volume for trout, herring, and snow crab, despite an increase in value for some markets like Ukraine and Spain. Prawn exports also saw significant growth, with a 30% increase in volume. Despite the challenges such as logistical issues and reduced capacity in China, the demand in Asian markets remains strong, with record high prices in local currency.
