is expected to grow by 24 percent in the
projection period and to reach more than 48
million tonnes in live weight equivalent in 2030
(Table 23) (60.6 million tonnes if trade within the
European Union is included). However, the
average annual growth rate of exports is expected
to decrease from 2.7 percent in 2003 –2016 to 1.5
percent in 2017–2030, partly owing to increasing
prices, slower growth of fish production and

exporting countries such as China. China will

human consumption (followed by Viet Nam and
Norway), with its share in total fish exports for »
