Seafood production in Norway
Norway is uniquely blessed with a long and fertile coastline. The sea’s abundant resources have laid the foundation for sustaining active coastal communities combining innovation with traditional culture.
The access to some of the worlds most productive marine environment allows our businesses to deliver a wide range of seafood to all four corners of the world.
