Volumes Down Sharply, Prices Continue to Increase: Norwegian Farmed Salmon Exports Weekly (week 13 2013)


Statistics Norway reported an export of 11,343 metric tonnes of fresh/chilled and frozen farmed salmon from Norwegian salmon farmers in week 13, 2013. On a rolling average four week basis volume in tonnes exported decreased 12.7% (-2,228 tonnes) on the same period last year.

The weighted average price per kilo for the week of NOK 37.74 was up 33.4% (NOK 9.42) YoY on a rolling average four week basis.

The value of exports for the week was NOK 429.237 million, an increase of 16.4% (NOK 80.965 million) on last year on a rolling average four week basis.

Tonnes exported for the week declined for the sixth week in a row on last year (rolling four week basis) and the 12.7% decline for the week was the biggest for more than 11 years (week 8 2002). Prices for the week increased for the 24th week in a row on last year (rolling four week basis), increasing at the fastest pace for seven weeks.
