Norway Unveils Target 2035 at the Import Expo in Shanghai, Aiming for RMB 20 Billion in Seafood Exports to China
SHANGHAI — The Norwegian Seafood Council on November 7 unveiled its 'Target 2035' at the ninth China International Import Expo in Shanghai, aiming to raise Norway's seafood exports to China to RMB 20 billion, roughly USD 3 billion, by 2035.
Council figures show that China became Norway's second-largest seafood export market in 2026. From January to September 2026, Norway exported 158,230 tonnes of seafood to China worth RMB 8.3 billion, up 15 percent in volume and 26 percent in value year on year. Demand in China for salmon, cold-water prawns and ready-to-eat seafood products continues to grow.
Cecilie Myrseth, Norway's minister of trade, industry and fisheries, who led the delegation to the expo, said seafood is an important pillar of bilateral trade and that cooperation and connections across the value chain should be strengthened to respond to changing Chinese consumer needs. She had earlier met China's ambassador to Norway, Zhou Jingxing, to exchange views on deepening economic, trade and green-transition cooperation. In late October, China and Norway also signed a protocol on wild-caught seafood exports to China, creating an inspection and quarantine framework for more Norwegian wild species to enter the Chinese market.
