Qiao Chen is Market Director for Asia. Her responsibility is to make sure that Bravo-fish of high quality and right size arrives on time on the other side of the world, preferably as soon after slaughter and packing as possible!

All this requires good planning before shipping and efficient tracking of shipments along the way. One must also be quick to react in the event of unforeseen circumstances. Bravo Seafood’s strength lies in its ability to organize and to be available 24/7. The company focuses on good service and customer satisfaction.

Qiao is Chinese, and speaks several different languages. She understands well customers’ needs and their quality requirements. Qiao says that Norwegian salmon is very popular in Asia for different reasons.

“The reddish meat is one of the most important factors. In addition, salmon is also very healthy and trendy. Its Norwegian origin is an extra guarantee for premium quality.”

That customers in Asia mainly want big size salmon is nothing new, but each customer also has their own quality requirements which have to be met. Bravo Seafood can supply fresh fish from its fish farmer partners from north to south along the Norwegian coast, and seeks to meet requirements to ensure that customers get the fish they want.

It is a long journey to the Far East. Bravo Seafood’s transport contractors ensure that shipments are loaded onto the right plane and the loads are taken care of all along the way. Salmon from the cold Norwegian fjords is a fresh food product. Many aspects such as temperature and time are critical factors and need to be taken into account during the long journey.

Distance to the market and available technology have limited the types of products the Norwegian fishery industry can produce. Historically, much of the Norwegian cod has therefore been processed into either frozen filet products or conventional products such as salted fish, dried and salted fish and stockfish. A long shelf life is a common denominator for these product categories. This means that the products can be sold year-round, even when there are major seasonal variations in fishing. Because sellers have been unable to create awareness of the difference between cod and other, less expensive whitefish species such as Alaska pollockwhen the quotas have been high, low prices have been necessary in order to sell large volumes of frozen fillets. The consequence of this is that consumers have purchased cod because it was cheap, not because it was cod. This has meant that cod prices have often plummeted when quotas are high.

One challenge that is apparent in the production of conventional cod products, or "bacalhau", as it is referred to in many consumer markets, is that such products tie up capital due to their long production process and seasonal demand. Cod is usually fished in the period from January to May, with at least two-thirds of the demand concentrated around Christmas and Easter. This means that much of the fish is often left in storage warehouses or in production for four to six months. Therefore, access to capital constrains how much cod the industry can purchase, without selling first. These two factors are keys in explaining why cod prices have historically dropped significantly when quotas increased. However, when the quotas were low, buyers who wanted cod because they prefer cod had to compete for the available cod, which drove prices upward.

In the summer of 2012, the International Council for Exploration of the Sea published stock estimates showing a record peak in Northeast Atlantic cod stocks. The Norwegian cod quota increased from 340,000 tonnes in 2012 to 454,000 tonnes of cod in 2013, causing a sharp decline in prices. The price fishermen received for frozen cod fell from NOK 18.5 in the second quarter of 2012 to NOK 14 per kilo in the fourth quarter. Fishermen were therefore forced to expend significantly more resources to harvest approximately the same value from the sea.

Globalisation of the world market for frozen fish led to tougher competition for the cod. Access to fish was no longer an advantage as modern freezing and thawing technology, combined with low-cost logistics, meant that the fish could be processed independent of the catch and consumer location. Low-cost countries such as China thus enjoyed a major advantage in labour-intensive product categories, resulting in higher yield and less investments. The competition from China and other low-cost countries made significant inroads, substantially reducing the number of Norwegian whitefish companies throughout the 2000s. Norwegian industry therefore lacked the capacity to process all the cod that was caught, while still making money. The solution turned out to be export of fresh and frozen whole cod. In 2013, 200 000 tonnes of cod (measured in round weightvolume) was exported as a raw material, with Europe as the largest market.

This development yielded several benefits. The European processing industry is located close to both the market and the resource, where wages are usually significantly lower than in Norway. This means a lot of flexibility in which raw materials can be used, and which products can be produced. Processing companies in a number of EU countries can therefore produce and sell fresh, frozen and thawed products of both fresh and frozen commodities. This development contributed to the introduction of many new products in the market; at the same time as low commodity prices help stimulate sales. Likewise, shelf life improves when the cod is filleted before, rather than after, transport to the market. Norwegian cod has therefore contributed to many jobs abroad in recent years, and to an increasing degree in Europe.

When cod is sent straight out of the country, access to capital does not limit how much the industry can pay to fishermen. This development contributed to the emergence of new products which consumers are willing to pay more for than frozen fillets, increased demand, build-up of production capacity in Europe and gradually higher prices. All of these factors have helped nudge prices up to record levels, despite a continued high cod quota, viewed in a historical perspective.

Competition from the foreign processing industry which purchases the raw commodity has contributed to a higher first-hand price, which has made the fishing fleet the big winner overall in Norway. This explains why profitability in the coastal fleet and the ocean going fishing vessel fleet are at historic highs, and the values of the fishing quotas that are traded among the shipping companies are record-high. The competitive situation has made it particularly demanding for the Norwegian processing industry to make money on value adding. Proximity to the resource can yield advantages in certain product categories, while the distance to the market creates major challenges in other product categories. Heightened competition for the raw material, constraints related to high wage costs and distance to markets mean that only a limited selection of products can be produced profitably in Norway.

The consequence of this is that only the best and most agile fishery industry companies will survive and make money on processing a limited selection of cod products here in Norway. Salted fish, dried and salted fish and the stockfish industry have good prospects when it comes to profitability, but must prepare themselves for a lower production volume in the future. Similarly, technological development could make it profitable to produce frozen fillet products in Norway. It is most likely that production of fresh cod fillets will take place near the market, as that yields a number of advantages.

The Norwegian theologian and poet PetterDass, who was a parish priest in Alstadhaug in Northern Norway from 1689 until his death in 1707, was famous for his saying "Skuldtorskenossfeile,hvahavde vi da" (If the cod should fail us, what then?)". Cod has been important for Norway for thousands of years, because it has created jobs and wealth. With increased competition for the commodity, cod fishermen in Norway earn more and more, while some of the processing is being outsourced. This means that Norwegian cod is more than just a tasty treat internationally; it also contributes to creating jobs and prosperity far outside our own borders.

Njardar’s holding company, Knut Nærø Sild og Fiskeforretning, is a family business now in its fourth generation. The company started producing cod liver oil and clipfish in 1901, and opened its fi rst smokehouse in 1927. Njardar’s fish products are made according to the traditional methods of its holding company.

Herring has a long tradition in Norway. Herring bones from 600 AD have been found in settlements along the coast of Norway. Later sources give an indication of how important herring was – the Pope gave a dispensation from a fishing ban on Sundays in the 11th century and Magnus Lagabøte had detailed directions for herring fishing in the 12th century.

All herring that is to be smoked is first salted. The golden-smoked herring is hung when wet in a drying and smoking room. The smoking process takes 6–7 days. The silver-cured herring is smoked with the finest ingredients – namely, alder tree logs. The fish is dried and smoked at the same time. The entire process lasts 2–3 days. The hard cured negro process takes 10–12 days.

Njardar has been approved by Norsk Tradisjonsfisk to produce herring according to traditional conservation methods.

Njardar’s main export markets are:

• The Mediterranean countries
• The West Indies
• North and South America
• The EU
• Australia
• The Persian Gulf States

Njardar’s products include:

• Smoked herring and mackerel
• Smoked herring and mackerel fillets
• Smoked salmon traditional
• Salted herring and mackerel
• Clipfish (dried, salted cod)
• Salted herring and mackerel fillets
• Wet-salted cod and cod fillets

100% of Norway Royal Salmon’s salmon is produced in Norway. In remote areas along the coast, there the cold, fresh water provides the most optimal conditions for farmed salmon.

When Norway Royal Salmon started its journey towards becoming one of the leading manufacturers of sustainable Norwegian salmon, the company chosed the name with care. Norway Royal Salmon intended to give a clear signal about where the company was heading, in terms of the relationship with the natural environment, the public and customers. The name clearly reflects the company´s commitment.

For the most part, Norway Royal Salmon exports fresh whole salmon chilled on ice. However, the company can deliver salmon gutted in different ways, fillet trimmed in different ways, or as other types of cut. Don’t hesitate to ask.

Norway Royal Salmon exports almost 1 million meals of salmon every day. The sustainable salmon is most often shipped as fresh salmon chilled on ice. This method preserves excellent quality all the way to the market places of Europe, USA and Asia and says much about the efficiency of Norway Royal Salmon´s advanced production and logistics operations. Total control of the quality of salmon farming from smolt to the market place enables the company to ship fresh salmon around the world in this way. It is this excellent quality that makes it possible to serve the salmon raw as sushi or sashimi around the world.

A printable temperature sensor label can be attached to a product or a package, and is always measuring the temperature during transport, and also when the product is between two temperature controlled zones, for example in a loading dock.

TAG Sensors’ TMS Online database keeps track of all the sensor tags, their owners and users, as well as information about all events in the sensor label lifecycle. The database provides the clients with information about their products in the cold chain, and their temperatures during transport and storage.

TAG Sensors provides low cost temperature logger labels, printers for personalization and encoding, appliers, handheld and portal readers, and integration with client ERP systems.
