Norway salmon exports — destinations and trade flow
Where Norway's Atlantic salmon ships. Monthly volumes by partner country, market concentration, and headline movers — refreshed each time customs statistics publish.
Latest month · June 2026
Latest available customs month (SSB table 14720). Per-country trade publishes in arrears — around the middle of the following month — so the latest available month trails the weekly export price by several weeks. Month-over-month compares with May 2026.
Norway shipped Atlantic salmon to 84 partner countries in June 2026. The three largest buyers were Poland, China, Netherlands, together accounting for 36.0% of the month's volume.
Market concentration (HHI, annual): 602.9 in 2025 — unconcentrated. Top destination Poland held 14.9% of annual volume across 110 partners.
The Herfindahl–Hirschman Index sums the squared market shares of every destination (scale 0–10,000): higher means exports lean on fewer markets, lower means demand is spread broadly. Standard DOJ/FTC bands — below 1,500 unconcentrated, 1,500–2,500 moderate, above 2,500 highly concentrated.

About this trade data
Volumes reflect the first customs destination, not the final consumer market. Several top partners are re-export hubs rather than terminal buyers: Polish processors fillet and smoke whole Norwegian salmon and ship it onward, mostly to Germany; the Netherlands and Lithuania play similar EU logistics roles; Denmark to a lesser degree. Shipped-to figures for those countries therefore overstate local demand and undercount the true downstream markets. On the live dashboard these hubs carry a re-export marker; the reattribution is a directional estimate drawn from trade-press and Eurostat re-export accounting, not a primary customs feed.
Monthly destination figures come from SSB’s salmon commodity group (table 14720), spanning fresh, frozen, and fillet salmon (HS 0302 / 0303 / 0304). That is a broader basket than the weekly farmed-salmon price series (table 03024), so monthly destination tonnage and the weekly headline price are not directly comparable.
