Why it matters

Who would benefit
The Mid-term Export Forecast is tailored for salmon producers, exporters, seafood traders, aquaculture investors, and market analysts looking for timely, data-driven insights into global trade flows. It is also useful for logistics operators and consultants analysing international seafood trade, as well as policymakers monitoring the impact of production and regulatory changes on global supply chains.
Our methodology
The model combines national trade data with Kontali’s production forecasts to estimate export volumes from producing countries to destination markets. All trade data are harmonised and converted to Whole Fish Equivalent (WFE) to ensure comparability across different product forms and sources. Forecasts are allocated by destination using historical trade shares and are adjusted with the latest production scenarios. Weekly updates feed into time series and Sankey visualisations, enabling users to monitor both historical and future trade patterns within a consistent framework.
