After two busy weeks in China and South Korea, we’re back home with new connections, a better understanding of both markets, and plenty of conversations to follow up on.

At the China Fisheries & Seafood Expo 2026, we caught up with existing customers and met potential new partners. The day before the expo, we attended the seafood seminar hosted by the 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹, which brought together more than 400 participants. It was a great opportunity to make new connections in a market where we see significant potential for growth.

A highlight outside the expo was visiting Qingdao’s local fish market. It was fascinating to see the variety of seafood on offer, and especially rewarding to spot 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀. 🐟

Next came the Busan International Seafood & Fisheries Expo 2026. South Korea is also a market we’re investing in and where we’re already seeing growth. Building relationships takes time, and it was rewarding to see how far we’ve come. We also attended the Norwegian Seafood Council’s seminar in Busan, where we gained valuable insight into the local market.
