Data acquired by SeafoodSource from the Norwegian Statistics Bureau show strong growth in both volume and value of seafood exports from Norway to China in 2017.
Overall, exports of seafood from Norway to China increased by 26.4 percent in volume, reaching a total of 181,062 metric tons in 2017. That figure represents a year-on-year growth of 49,944 MT.
In value, the growth was 25.1 percent in 2017, to a total value of CNY 2.8 billion (USD 410 million, EUR 360 million).
China imported 6.9 percent of all Norwegian seafood exported in 2017, up from 5.8 percent in 2016. The total is up after the two countries signed a bilateral trade agreement in April 2017.
