Record Salmon Export 2024

Record-Breaking Year for Norwegian Salmon Exports in 2024

In 2024, Norway achieved a historic milestone in its seafood industry, exporting 1.26 million tonnes of salmon valued at NOK 122.9 billion (€10.9 billion). This represents a 2% increase in volume and a 1% rise in value compared to the previous year, setting a new record for the nation's most significant seafood export.

Big growth in Germany

Salmon exports accounted for 70% of Norway's total seafood export value, which reached an unprecedented NOK 175.4 billion (€15.45 billion) in 2024 . Key markets driving this growth included Poland, the United States, and France, while Germany experienced the highest value growth with a 12% increase.​

Notably, October 2024 marked the best single month ever for Norwegian seafood exports, with salmon exports alone worth NOK 12.5 billion, contributing 68% to the total seafood export value that month.​

Despite challenges such as higher summer sea temperatures and increased production costs, the Norwegian salmon industry demonstrated resilience and adaptability, solidifying its position as a global leader in seafood exports.
