Top Norwegian salmon farming execs gathered at the Danske Bank seminar last week to discuss the opportunities and developments in the industry.
Ola Bratvoll, COO of sales and marketing at Marine Harvest, Sverre Soraa, general manager of Coast Seafood, Henning Beltestad, CEO of Leroy Seafood, and Bjol Olvik, sales director at Nova Sea, sat on a panel to discuss the opportunities that are opening in the Chinese market for salmon in the coming years.
Bratvoll and Soraa said China will bring in about 250,000 metric tons of salmon in 2022, a very optimistic figure compared with estimations made by Beltestad, who said China will import around 200,000 metric tons of salmon, and Olvik, who said imports would hit 80,000 metric tons in 2022.
