OLSO: Norwegian salmon exports to China rose to 557 metric tons in week three of 2018, from 399t the previous week, and from 97t in the corresponding week of 2017, reports Reuters, citing data from Seafood Norway. The Chinese volumes remain small when compared to Norway’s overall salmon exports, which hit 16,531t in week three.
In late 2016 Norway and China began to normalize political and trading relationsfollowing a diplomatic row over the 2010 award of the Nobel Peace Prize to a Chinese dissident. Salmon exports to Vietnam fell sharply year-on-year however, as the country had previously been seen as a backdoor to China.
