China is rapidly emerging as Norway's most important seafood export market, helping offset weak demand in other regions and underscoring the growing role of Chinese consumers in shaping global demand for premium imported seafood.
Norwegian seafood exports to China rose 36 percent year-on-year to 4.9 billion Norwegian kroner ($528.2 million) in the first four months, lifting China past the United States to become Norway's second-largest seafood market, according to the Norwegian Seafood Council.
