The pricing hub of the global salmon market is shifting towards China
After three consecutive weeks of increases, Norwegian salmon prices have finally halted their earlier decline. Latest data show a broad rise across mainstream size categories, with fish weighing 3–6 kg up by an average of 2–3 NOK/kg. However, market momentum is shifting toward larger sizes.
“The market is tightening,” one buyer revealed. Current ex-farm prices for 4–5 kg fish stand at around 75 NOK/kg, while salmon over 5 kg are reaching as high as 76–80 NOK. “Though the increases are modest, the steady recovery is crucial — it shows underlying demand remains supportive.”
