Global raw material tightness and high international demand push prices for both species to unprecedented levels during July

OSLO — Norwegian seafood exports recorded an extraordinary performance in the pelagic sector during the month of July, driven primarily by record prices and significant increases in exported volumes of herring and mackerel, according to data released by the Norwegian Seafood Council.

Herring Reaches Record Price in Tight Global Market

In the herring sector, Norway exported 11,016 tonnes of seafood worth a total of NOK 234 million (US$ 22.23 million) during July. These figures represent a growth of 28 percent in export value — equivalent to an increase of NOK 51 million (US$ 4.85 million) — compared to the same month last year. Concurrently, the physical volume exported experienced a 16 percent rise.

The market saw a historic milestone for frozen whole herring, reaching a record average price of 21 kroner per kg (US$ 2.00 per kg) in July, surpassing by 1 krone (US$ 0.10) the previous record set in June 2024. The main commercial destinations for this resource in July were Poland, Denmark, and Canada.

"The value growth for herring in July is due to both increased export volumes and record high prices. A tight global market for pelagic fish and record high prices for frozen whole herring contributed to a significant increase in export value in July. At the same time, increased availability of raw material after a strong herring fishery earlier this year contributed to higher export volumes", said Johan Kvalheim, responsible for pelagic species at the Norwegian Seafood Council.

Mackerel Records 69% Growth Led by South Korean Demand

Despite being historically a low season for catches, external sales of mackerel experienced a substantial surge. Norway exported 6,976 tonnes of mackerel valued at NOK 339 million (US$ 32.21 million) during July. This represented a year-on-year rise of 69 percent in value — a net increase of NOK 139 million (US$ 13.21 million) — and a 12 percent increase in exported volume.

The most relevant markets for Norwegian mackerel during the analyzed period were South Korea, Vietnam, and Egypt. In particular, South Korea led value growth in July, recording an increase in export value of NOK 116 million (US$ 11.02 million) for a total received volume of 2,312 tonnes.

"July is normally a quiet month for exports of Norwegian mackerel, and exports largely consist of the last volumes from the previous season. The strong export values ​​primarily reflect record-high prices as a result of a tight raw material market after low catch volumes in both 2025 and 2026", stated Kvalheim.

ニシン価格が史上最高値を更新、サバ輸出の急増とともにノルウェーの浮魚セクターを牽引

世界的な原材料不足と高い国際需要により、7月中に両魚種の価格が過去未有の水準に達する

オスロノルウェー水産物審議会が発表したデータによると、7月におけるノルウェーの水産物輸出は、ニシンサバの最高価格と大幅な輸出量の増加に支えられ、浮魚セクターにおいて目覚ましい業績を記録しました。

世界的な供給逼迫の中でニシンが過去最高価格を記録

ニシンセクターにおいて、ノルウェー7月中に合計2億3,400万ノークローネNOK)(2,223万 US$)相当の水産物 11,016トンを輸出しました。これらの数値は、前年同月と比較して輸出額が28パーセントの増加(5,100万NOK485万 US$)の増加に相当)を示しています。同時に、物理的な輸出量も16パーセントの増加となりました。

市場では冷凍丸ニシンが7月1kgあたり21クローネ1kgあたり2.00 US$)という過去最高の平均価格に達し、2024年6月に樹立された以前の記録を1クローネ0.10 US$)上回る歴史的節目を記録しました。この資源の7月における主な商業目的地は、ポーランドデンマークカナダでした。

– 7月のニシンの価値成長は、輸出量の増加と過去最高価格の双方によるものです。浮魚類の世界的な供給逼迫と冷凍丸ニシンの最高価格が、7月の輸出額の大幅な増加に寄与しました。同時に、今年前半の堅調なニシン漁の後の原材料供給の増加が、輸出量の増大に貢献しました、とノルウェー水産物審議会の遠洋魚種担当者であるヨハン・クヴァルハイムJohan Kvalheim)氏は述べています。

韓国の需要が牽引し、サバの輸出額が69%増を記録

漁獲のオフシーズンとされる時期であるにもかかわらず、サバの国外販売は大幅な急増を見せました。ノルウェー7月中に3億3,900万NOK3,221万 US$)相当のサバ 6,976トンを輸出しました。これは前年同月比で金額ベースで69パーセント増(1億3,900万NOK1,321万 US$)の純増)、輸出量ベースで12パーセント増を意味します。

分析期間中のノルウェー産サバの最も重要な市場は韓国ベトナムエジプトでした。特に韓国7月の金額成長を牽引し、合計2,312トンの輸入量に対して輸出額が1億1,600万NOK1,102万 US$)増加しました。

– 7月は通常、ノルウェー産サバの輸出にとって静かな月であり、輸出の大部分は前シーズンの最後の数量で構成されています。好調な輸出額は主に、2025年2026年の両年における低漁獲量の結果としての原材料市場の逼迫に伴う最高価格を反映しています、とクヴァルハイム氏は語りました。

鲱鱼价格创历史新高与鲭鱼出口大幅增长推动挪威远洋渔业部门发展

全球原材料供应紧张及高企的国际需求使这两种水产品的价格在七月份达到前所未有的水平

奥斯陆 — 根据挪威海产局发布的数据,七月期间挪威的水产出口在远洋渔业部门取得了非凡的业绩,这主要得益于创纪录的价格以及鲱鱼鲭鱼出口量的显著增长。

全球市场供应紧张推动鲱鱼价格创下历史新高

在鲱鱼部门,挪威七月期间共出口了价值2.34亿挪威克朗NOK)(2223万美元)的水产品 11,016吨。这些数据代表着出口额比去年同期增长了28%——相当于增加了5100万挪威克朗485万美元)。同时,实际出口量增长了16%

市场迎来了整条冻鲱鱼的历史性里程碑,七月的平均价格达到了创纪录的每公斤21克朗每公斤2.00美元),比2024年6月创下的前纪录高出1克朗0.10美元)。七月该资源的主要商业目的地是波兰丹麦加拿大

– 七月份鲱鱼价值的增长归因于出口量的增加和创纪录的高价。远洋鱼类全球市场的供应紧张以及整条冻鲱鱼创纪录的高价促成了七月份出口额的显著增加。同时,今年早些时候强劲的鲱鱼捕捞活动后原材料供应量的增加有助于提高出口量,挪威海产局远洋物种负责人约翰·克瓦尔海姆Johan Kvalheim)表示。

在韩国需求的推动下鲭鱼出口额实现69%的增长

尽管从历史来看属于捕捞淡季,但鲭鱼的对外销售经历了大幅飙升。挪威七月期间出口了价值3.39亿挪威克朗3221万美元)的鲭鱼 6,976吨。这代表着出口额同比增长了69%——净增1.39亿挪威克朗1321万美元)——出口量增长了12%

– 七月通常是挪威鲭鱼出口的平淡月份,出口很大程度上由上一季度的最后批次组成。强劲的出口额主要反映了由于2025年2026年捕捞量偏低导致原材料市场供应紧张而带来的创纪录高价,克瓦尔海姆声明道
