Fresh salmon exports from Norway have reached their highest weekly volume of 2025, with shipments between 7-13 July marking a significant milestone for the Nordic seafood industry. The surge has been primarily attributed to exceptionally strong demand from European Union markets.
This peak in export volumes underscores the continued strength of Norwegian seafood in international markets, particularly within the EU, where fresh salmon remains a highly sought-after commodity. The record-breaking week demonstrates the resilience of Norway’s aquaculture sector and its ability to meet growing international demand.
For freight forwarders handling perishable goods, these increased volumes present both opportunities and logistical challenges. The surge in salmon exports requires specialised cold chain transportation and efficient handling procedures to ensure product quality throughout the supply chain.
