The market for Norwegian farmed salmon looks soft heading into next week.
Friday was a long day of waiting, for the Norwegian fresh salmon market, with exporters struggling to sell salmon harvested this week, and seeing prices for fish harvested last week at under NOK 50 (€5.30/$6) per kilo.
"It is very challenging and quiet in the market. It almost seems like some customers do not answer when we call,” an exporter told IntraFish.
Prices are expected to be low into next week, especially for small fish of 1-4 kilos -- which seem to be dominant on the market.
