The production and export of fish products from Norway

The annual production of fish and fish products in Røst accounts for about 200 million
Norwegian kroner (approximately 24 million US$) per year. About 65 per cent of this
production is exported as stockfish to Nigeria.
There used to be several markets for stockfish. Nigeria used to buy from 50 to 80 per cent of
the Norwegian production of stockfish. Because of internal problems the country established
firm import restrictions of several products, among them stockfish in 1979. In 1984 a total
ban on the importation of stockfish was established (Tande and Tande, 1986). To day
Nigeria import about 100-200 tons of stockfish per year.
Nigeria is also a huge market for stockfish (dried fish) and imports about 160,000 tons of worth more than $400 million per annum.

Nigerian importers have been unable to find suppliers of this product. As inadequate energy supply (especially electricity) is a major issue in Nigeria. market opportunities also exist for suppliers of stockfish and other dry seafood products that do not require energy supply for storage.
