Market access has been particularly weakened for the country’s farmed salmon products
Norway exported seafood worth NOK 14.8 billion in January, representing a decrease of 32% or NOK 416 million compared with the same month last year. Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) CEO Christian Chramer explained that lower salmon prices, a weaker US dollar, reduced quotas for several wild fish species and tougher competition in important markets all contributed to the decline.
