Apr 09, 2014 (newstodate): Nothing can stop the Norwegian fresh salmon to reach its consumers...
One good case in point is China, formerly a market with huge growth potentials for the Norwegian export of fresh salmon.
However, the export of fresh Norwegian salmon to the Chinese market remains hampered by sustained trade obstacles since the Nobel prize award in 2010 to a Chinese dissident - but the trade has broken through the Chinese wall anyhow.
Vietnam has become a vital, albeit unofficial point of entry to the Chinese market.
-We have seen volumes exported to Vietnam rising steeply. However, the end-users are not in Vietnam, but in China. 99 percent of the Norwegian salmon exported to Vietnam is smuggled into China, said Tom Mikkelsen, Marine Harvest, at the Nordic Air Cargo Symposium in Stockholm on April 8, 2014.
According to market analysts, Norway is now exporting some 1,800 tonnes per month of fresh salmon to Vietnam.
Norway is the fastest growing air cargo market in the Nordic region where Finnair is alone in providing direct non-stop services to Hanoi, Vietnam.
In 2009, Finnair cargo transported some 100 tonnes of salmon out of Norway per month - a volume reported at 300 tonnes only in April 2014, and again raised to 500 tonnes per month, according to the carrier's managing director at yesterday's symposium in Stockholm.
