Trout trump salmon

This is NOK 2.25 higher than the average price achieved by the country’s exports of fresh whole salmon.

Figures released by the Norwegian Seafood Council today reveal that the country exported trout worth NOK 2.34 billion in 2014. This represents a decrease of 1 per cent, or NOK 29 million, compared with 2013. Measured by product weight, 50,700 tonnes of trout were exported in 2014. This is a decrease of 9.5 per cent compared to 2013.

Whilst the supply of trout to Eastern Europe reduced, there was an increase in exports to the EU, Asia and USA. Within the EU, export value increased the most to Poland and Finland, while Japan and China were the biggest growth markets in Asia.
