Åshild Nakken, regional director for Southeast Asia at the Norwegian Seafood Council, revealed the figures during a strategic partnership signing event between the council and restaurant chain operator Golden Gate Group in Ho Chi Minh City on Wednesday.

She said that Vietnam remains a key market for Norwegian seafood, with major products including salmon, brown crabs, and king crabs.

Of the 24,000 metric tons of Norwegian salmon imported into the Southeast Asian country, frozen salmon, particularly salmon belly cuts used for sushi, saw strong demand alongside fresh salmon.

Norway dominated Vietnam's brown crab market, holding a 76-percent market share.

Nakken emphasized Norway’s commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable seafood products and strengthening partnerships with local Vietnamese stakeholders for long-term mutual benefits.
