Scottish salmon exports to Asia have more than doubled by value for the first quarter of 2023. Strong demand from China, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea is the main reason.
Exports to the USA (29 percent) and Asia (18 percent) now represent more than 47 percent of total international sales of Scottish salmon, according to the latest UK government trading figures.
The total value of exports to Asia increased by £12 million (€14 million/$15 million), while volumes have increased by 97 percent.
