Scottish salmon exports on track to hit 1bn as global demand surges
Briefly

Scottish salmon exports are expected to surpass £1 billion for the first time, driven by robust international demand from markets such as the United States, China, and Canada. Recent figures indicate a 33% growth in sales abroad, reaching £941 million in the last year. Exports in the first half of 2025 were valued at £528 million. The entry to the Indian market through a free trade agreement represents a significant future opportunity. Improved survival rates and harvest volumes further bolster the sector's performance amid challenges from tariffs.
