Norway overtakes China in export of seafood in certain categories, according to trade data from 2023 analyzed by Seabridge, a Beijing-based seafood and meat consultancy firm. Seabridge relates the success of Norwegian export to a strong global demand for salmon, Western economies turning away from Chinese products and a weakened Chinese processing sector. China remains the top exporter of processed products, whereas Norway has success in the non-processed, fresh product categories.
China’s export volume of sheer seafood fell 12,3 percent over a year in 2023, whereas there was a 14,5 percent dip in the export of non-processed primary products. The decrease of export of non-processed primary product can be a potential concern for the Chinese exporters as it constituted 53,9 percent of the total shipments in 2023.
