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.

Tavish Scott, CEO of Salmon Scotland, highlighted the strong performance, especially in the US, while noting that tariffs represent a major obstacle costing £30 million annually.
