UK surpasses China as the largest importer of frozen Norwegian cod

For the first time since 2010, the United Kingdom is Norway's largest market for frozen cod measured by value.

"Much of the reason for the increase in exports to the UK can probably be attributed to the increase in customs tariffs that the UK introduced on imports of Russian cod in the summer of 2022," said Eivind Hestvik Braekkan, seafood analyst at the Norwegian Seafood Council.
