Seafood Industry Sets Its New Target

Seafood industry is one of Norway's most international industries, and generates substantial revenues from exports to world markets. Export figures for the last year show that Norwegian seafood is competitive even in challenging times.

- It is not without reason that the Norwegian seafood industry is so strong. Our seafood is a quality product delivered by a skilled industry. It is impressive to have a successful year at a time when several of our major markets are experiencing great economic turmoil, says Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs Lisbeth Berg-Hansen during the presentation of Norwegian seafood export figures for 2011 in Tromsø, on 4 January.

The Norwegian seafood export was 53 billion NOK in 2011, just over 1% lower than the record year 2010. 2011 has been historically the year of wild caught fish export with a value of 21.9 billion NOK. Also, the aquaculture industry exported seafood for 31 billion NOK, with a decline of 2.3 billion compared with 2010.
