Fish exports on the rise

Year-to-date exports of fish products increased by 7%.

Total exports amounted to DKK 5.7 billion in the first eight months of this year, compared to DKK 5.5 billion in the same period last year.

This matches the all-time year-to-date high in 2019. The first months of this year saw significantly lower exports than in 2019, but increases in the past few months have brought the total up to the 2019 levels.

Mackerel exports are at the same level as last year in volume terms, but the export value has gone down by 20%.

Herring and blue whiting exports have increased in both volume and value.

Salmon exports saw a year-on-year increase of 17%, totalling DKK 2.6 billion at the end of August 2021.

Cod exports dropped 14% in value and 17% in volume. The export volume of mature coalfish dropped by 6%, while the haddock export volume increased by 7%. The export value of mature coalfish and haddock remains roughly the same as last year.
