Norwegian farmed salmon prices hit another low for the year, dragged down by higher prices, a strengthening Norwegian kroner and lackluster demand.

Exporters and farmers told IntraFish Friday prices continued to slip, with an average decline of NOK 1-2 over the past week.

"A lot of us exporters sold at a loss this week," one exporter told IntraFish.

Three exporters interviewed by IntraFish reported prices of NOK 40, 42 and 44 (€3.28, €4.02, €4.21/$4.57, $4.80, $5.02) per kilogram in Northern Norway for weight classes 3-4 kg, 4-5 kg and 5-6 kg, respectively.
