Growth In Norwegian Seafood Exports Continues

The export value of Norwegian seafood in January totalled NOK 4.2 billion. This is an increase of NOK 684 million or 19% compared to January 2010, according to figures from the Seafood Export Council. "Continued strong global demand for Norwegian Salmon is contributing to high prices for salmon, and therefore we are seeing the growth in seafood exports registered in 2010 continuing into January 2011,” says Egil Ove Sundheim, director of market information with the Norwegian Seafood Export Council.

In January, the value of exports of Norwegian Salmon totalled NOK 2.4 billion, an increase of NOK 587 million compared to January last year. The record export figures are attributable to large volume and continued good prices. France, Poland and Russia are the biggest importers of salmon from Norway.
