Norwegian Cod faced challenging 2009

In 2009, Norwegian exports of groundfish including clipfish, salted fish and stockfish totalled NOK 9.5 billion. This is a reduction of NOK 375 million or 3.8% compared to 2008. Lower prices for groundfish are the reason for the decline in value. The volume of exports increased by 9.4% or 31,500 tonnes to a total of 365,600 tonnes, according to the latest figures from the Norwegian Seafood Export Council.
