From PoAndPo Agrifish, November 4:
Despite a very challenging month of flare ups of the coronavirus pandemic in many markets, seafood exports remain at a high level.
In October, seafood was exported with a value of NOK 10.4 billion.
This is a decrease in value of 5 per cent, or NOK 573 million, compared with October last year.
Nevertheless, this is the third highest export value for a single month.
So far this year, the value of seafood exports has reached NOK 87.2 billion.
This is at the same level as the record set last year.
Historically, seafood exports have only been higher in two single months previously, and that was in October and November of 2019.
Poland, Denmark and France were the largest markets for Norwegian seafood in October.
120,000 tonnes of salmon were exported with a value of NOK 6.5 billion in October.
In October, the export price was NOK 48.57per kg, which was six per cent lower than in the same month last year....
