The Norwegian Seafood Council shows results for other species where it is clearly seen that the weakness of the Norwegian crown has helped improve the results for some species. Although in some cases the volumes exported were lower, the foreign exchange generated shows good export levels.

Significant decline in clipfish exports

Norway exported 4,500 tonnes of whole clipfish to a value of NOK 225 million in July. This is a volume reduction of 18 per cent, and a reduction in value of NOK 48 million or 18 per cent from July last year.

Seafood from Norway

So far this year, Norway has exported 43,100 tonnes of whole clipfish worth NOK 2.2 billion. This is a volume decrease of 8 percent, while the value is at the same level as last year.

Portugal, Dominican Rep. And Jamaica were the largest markets for clipfish in July.

“The uncertainty in the conventional markets still affects exports. In July, there has been a decline in both cod and saithe clipfish. The price of saithe clipfish is still higher than last year, measured in Norwegian kroner. Converted into other currencies such as EURO and USD, prices have fallen during last year for both cod and saithe clipfish. We are still seeing growth in exports of saithe clipfish to the Dominican Republic, while exports to Congo and Congo-Brazzaville have decreased significantly in July compared to the same period last year”, says Ingrid Kristine Pettersen, sea analyst at the Norwegian Seafood Council.

Small increase in exports of salted fish

Norway exported 900 tonnes of salted fish for NOK 45 million in July. This is a volume increase of 3 per cent and a value increase of 1 per cent or NOK 0.5 million compared to July 2019.

So far this year, Norway has exported 17,000 tonnes of salted fish for NOK 1 billion. There is a volume decrease of 4 per cent, and an increase in value of 3 per cent or NOK 33 million from the same period last year.

Portugal, Spain and Canada were the largest salted fish markets in July.
