In April, Norway's seafood exports experienced a 4% increase compared to the same period last year, reaching a value of NOK 8.6 billion, the second highest April ever. This growth is despite the ongoing impact of the corona pandemic and a stronger Norwegian krone. The export value of salmon, trout, fresh cod, and stockfish saw positive growth, while clipfish, salted fish, herring, and mackerel experienced declines. Capelin fishing resumed, and there was a significant increase in king crab and prawn exports. Snow crab exports also surged, marking its best export month ever. However, the industry still faces challenges such as weak demand and low prices for salted fish and clipfish of cod.
