Aug 20, 2018 (newstodate): China has removed one major bottleneck for Norway's salmon export, boding well for a coming boom in volumes.
With effect from July 3 2018, China has lifted the embargo on salmon produced in three major production areas Troms, Nordland and Sor Trondelag that have finally been cleared of suspicions of infection with Pancreas Disease or Infectious salmon anemia.
With this news, Norwegian exporters may see volumes exported to China rising to some 21,000 tonnes in H2, 2018, against 5,966 tones in H1, 2018.
This news add further delight to Norway's salmon exporters together with the announcement on August 9, 2018, of a direct freighter service to China operated by Ethiopian Airlines from Oslo to Guangzhou, in China.
Starting in September, the carrier will be operating the service with a Boeing777-200F flying from Addis Abeba to Lagos, in Nigeria, to Oslo, and continuing to Guangzhou via a stop at Liege to load other low-density European shipments for China.
The service will be operated one to two times weekly from the start, but details, including the final start-up date, will be presented at a forthcoming seminar for stakeholders in Norway's seafood industry by the end of this month.
