Salmon reduces seafood export value

Total seafood exports for August ended at NOK3.5bn, decreasing by NOK120m compared with August last year.

"The main reason for the decrease in value is a lower price for salmon resulting from a fall in demand.  At the same time, we are seeing an increase in sales of frozen cod and haddock," says Egil Ove Sundheim, Market Information Director at the NSEC.
