Clipfish exports from Norway increased by 9% in 2017
So far this year, Norway exported 82,400 tonnes of clipfish worth NOK 3.8 billion.

Portugal and Brazil were the largest markets for Norwegian clipfish in November.
”We are pleased to see that prices for most cod products continues to increase. For one thing, the price of clipfish from cod has increased with 7 per cent so far this year, which is partly driven by a better economy and increased demand in one of our most important clipfish markets, Brazil” says Ingrid Kristine Pettersen, analyst with the Norwegian Seafood Council.
