According to the Norwegian Seafood Council, 32,744 tonnes (round weight) of salmon were exported in week 24. This is 18.4% more than the same week in 2025.
It is also the highest ever weekly volume in a single week in the first half of the year.
So far this year, Norway has exported 663,000 tonnes of salmon (round weight), which is 5.1% more than at the same time last year.
