Where does salmon mainly come from?

The main sources are Norway, Chile, Denmark and Faroe Islands, and a few are from Britain and Australia.

Norwegian salmon occupies the market. Norwegian salmon entered the China market on 1985. Before 200 1, the salmon eaten by China people was shipped from Norway. 200 1, China joins WTO and opens its market. Chilean salmon and Danish Faroe salmon entered the China market one after another, and started hand-to-hand combat with Norwegian salmon. However, Norwegian salmon entered the China market earlier than the other two places, so until 20 10, Norwegian salmon still occupied 92% of the salmon market in China. Almost all the salmon we eat these days are Norwegian salmon.

However, since 20 10, the relationship between China and Norway has deteriorated, and Norwegian salmon imports have also dropped sharply, falling to 32% in the first half of 20 13, but it is still the salmon import market in China. The turning point is 20 15. After China issued a partial import ban on Norwegian salmon, Norway suddenly became the sixth largest importer. The Danish Faroe Islands became the largest salmon importer in China. Until China lifted the ban on 20 18, Norwegian salmon returned to the first position in China salmon market. Most of the salmon we eat raw now are imported from Norway. The main Norwegian salmon is imported from fresh box horses.

Chilean salmon is cheap and tax-free. In the bleak years from 20 15 to 20 18, Norwegian salmon was somewhat bleak because of the ban, and Chilean salmon took the lead and became one of the leaders in the salmon market in China. Chilean salmon will not feel tired even if it is eaten too much because of its low fat content. In fact, Chilean salmon uses Norwegian salmon fry, but they have made improvements in many places to make it more suitable for consumers. Chile has become the second largest salmon exporter in the world. In addition, compared with Norwegian salmon, Chilean salmon has another advantage: low price and duty-free.

Denmark is an autonomous island, and the Faroe Islands are next door to Norway. The quality of salmon in Faroe Islands is good, and the price of salmon in Faroe Islands is higher than that in other places 10%. They take the high-end market route. Frozen salmon over 6 kg in Faroe Islands is particularly popular in China market, which is also their capital in China salmon market.

In addition to Norwegian salmon, Faroe Islands salmon and Chilean salmon, there are English salmon and Australian salmon.

British salmon and Australian salmon have similar markets in China. However, it can only be a second-line brand, which is far from the sales of the first-line brands and occupies a small share in the salmon market in China.
