The half-year figures from the Norwegian Seafood Council today show that the sector is heading for another record-breaking year, adding that January to June has been a “fantastic” period for salmon.
Total seafood sales show a value growth of 31% or NOK 16.4bn (£1.36bn) against the first half of 2021.
Børge Grønbech, the Seafood Council’s acting CEO, said: “Norwegian seafood exports have left behind a historically good first half year. Rising global food prices, lower raw material supply, and strong growth in demand are the main reasons for this record. After six months, we have actually exceeded the export value for the whole of 2015.”
