Norway has so far exported 5,160 tonnes of fresh, whole quality marked Skrei codfish in 2016. This year's season has been characterized by good quality, high prices and high demand.
Norway exported cod, saithe, haddock and other ground fish worth NOK 1.25 billion in the first month of 2016. This is 11 per cent or NOK 128 million more than during January 2015. Growth is accounted for by a new export record for fresh products, as well as high levels of frozen cod.
