Norway exported 233 tonnes of fresh salmon to China during the third week in May, up from 44 tonnes the previous week and compared to 29 tonnes during the same week a year ago, data from Seafood Norway shows.
Producers in Norway view Chinese demand as an important factor to balance growing global salmon supply, although export volumes have dropped sharply recently.
During the third week of May, overall export volumes rose to 14,987 tonnes from 13,056 tonnes in same week a year ago.
