Export volume to Poland ended at 9,706 tonnes, which is 1 per cent higher than the third quarter last year

Good demand in South Korea and Japan

Fishing has been good recently, and most of the mackerel quota has now been taken.

"We are experiencing good demand in the most important Asian markets. A decline in their own mackerel fisheries in both South Korea and Japan has meant that their processing industries are buying Norwegian mackerel to an even greater extent," says Johan Kvalheim, the Norwegian Seafood Council's envoy to Japan and South Korea.

Exports of mackerel in September

  • Norway exported 63,500 tonnes of mackerel worth NOK 1.7 billion in September
  • The value increased by NOK 609 million, or 57 per cent, compared with September last year
  • This is a growth in volume of 31 per cent
