Norwegian live snow crabs make entry into Chinese market
The first batch of Norwegian live snow crabs arrived in China on Thursday, marking a milestone for Norway's seafood exports into the Chinese market.
"We are thrilled to see the successful landing of Norwegian live snow crabs in China," said Sigmund Bjorgo, China director of the Norwegian Seafood Council. "This milestone marks a significant step in strengthening our commitment to bringing more quality seafood to China."
The delivery came after Yu Jianhua, minister of the General Administration of Customs of China, met with Marianne Sivertsen Naess, Norway's Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, in Beijing, with Norwegian live snow crab exports being a key topic of discussion.
"We are incredibly proud to see the first shipment of Norwegian live snow crabs reach China successfully," said Svein Ruud, the exporter of the inaugural shipment. "This is not only the first time our product has entered the Chinese market but also a fantastic opportunity to showcase the superior quality of Norwegian snow crabs to a broader audience. We are excited about the future potential of this market."
