China has recently permitted the import of live snow crab from Norway, following discussions between the country's Minister of Chinese Customs and Veterinary Authorities, Yu Jianhua, and Norway's Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Marianne Sivertsen Næss. This development is anticipated to significantly boost the profitability of Norwegian exporters, as live snow crab is experiencing growing demand in Asian markets. This move comes as Norway targets the Chinese market, with its seafood industry seeing increased sales in China, as reported by the Norwegian Seafood Council.
