– The month of October hits all the records and it has several reasons. September was a bit weak, but exports rose sharply in October. Poland and the Netherlands, which are mainly for-profit markets, recorded volume growth of 43% and 29% respectively in October. This gives an indication of a positive consumption trend in other markets, such as Germany. The increase in prices, while the growth in volume indicates an increase in demand for Norwegian salmon, said Seafood analyst Paul T. Aandahl.
