In May, Norwegian seafood exports experienced a growth of 7% compared to the same period in 2022, reaching a value of NOK 13.1 billion, driven by a currency effect due to the weak Norwegian krone. Despite this, there was an 8% decrease in export value when measured in euros, and a 5% decrease when measured in dollars. The shift in export markets has seen Asia and North America taking a larger share, with Europe still being the largest destination. The demand for salmon, especially in China, has been strong, while there has been a decline in the export value and volume for prawn, attributed to a decrease in exports to Iceland. Additionally, there has been a fall in export volume for various fish species, including cod, herring, trout, pollock, salmon, and snow crab, while mackerel and haddock saw an increase in volume.
