Norway's Leroy Seafood Group has signed an exclusive agreement with China's largest food processor and distributor to supply its frozen fillets into the massive Chinese market.

COFCO Imported Foods, a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned China Oil and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO), signed the deal with Leroy on March 18 to import and distribute Leroy's frozen salmon fillets.

A spokesman with Leroy declined to provide IntraFish additional details on the agreement.
