So far this year, seafood exports have totalled NOK 99 billion, matching the full-year figure from 2018 © ShutterstockStrong aquaculture exports, particularily of salmon, and rising demand from China were key contributors. Norway’s salmon market share in China reached 71 percent in June, the highest in 15 years. Trout also saw gains, with exports rising 11 percent in value to NOK 697 million and 20 percent in volume. Prawn exports grew 24 percent in value, despite a 12 percent drop in volume, driven mainly by surging Chinese demand. Clipfish and stockfish exports declined in both value and volume, reflecting quota pressures and reduced raw material access.
