“Despite the economic uncertainty in the markets, demand for Norwegian seafood products remains good, even incountries that have been hit hard by the crisis,” said Egil Ove Sundheim, the NSC’s director of market information. “In the first half-year of 2012, exports were characterized by much lower prices for Norwegian salmon than in the previous year. However, in July price differences were less pronounced and export volumes were up, which has resulted in growth in the value of Norwegian salmon exports.”

The value of Norwegian salmon exports totals NOK 16.3 billion year to date, down 5 percent compared to the same period last year. This decline is attributed to lower export prices: The average price for fresh whole salmon in July was NOK 27.05, compared to NOK 31.14 in July 2011. France and Russia were the biggest Norwegian salmon importers.
