Norway exported NOK18.4bn (EUR1.55bn) worth of seafood in October. This is an increase of NOK3.3bn, or 22%, compared to the same month last year.
Never has Norway exported a higher value of seafood in a single month than in October. The last top quotation from a single month originates from March this year. The export value then ended at NOK15.7bn.
“The growth in value for salmon continues, contributing greatly to October being the best single month ever for Norwegian seafood exports. The combination of high salmon prices, increased export volume and the weak Norwegian krone, lifted the total value to a historically high level”, says the CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council, Christian Chramer.
In October, Norway exported salmon worth NOK12.5bn. It accounted for 68% of the total value of seafood exports last month, which is a growth of 22% compared to October last year.
So far this year, Norway has exported NOK142.4bn (EUR12bn) worth of seafood. In comparison, Norway exported seafood worth NOK151.4bn in 2022, which was a new record.
