This year also, the COVID-19 pandemic prevents us from meeting at the annual salmon seminar in Milan. Therefore the Norwegian Seafood Council invites you to join us for a live webinar about Norwegian Salmon in Italy with the latest insight on the Italian salmon market. You will hear about COVID-19’s impact on consumer behaviour trends and the market prospects.

The corona pandemic hit Italy hard in early 2020. Despite the sharp decline in direct exports of Norwegian salmon to Italy in the first months of the pandemic, the situation has later reversed and salmon sales are now showing strong growth. At this year's salmon webinar, we will take a closer look at COVID-19’s impact on consumer behaviour trends and the market prospects.

Please note that we shall host two separate sessions of the webinar, targeted to the Norwegian and Italian industry respectively.

We kindly invite you to take note of the following:

Italian session: 10:00 - 11:30
Norwegian session: 13:30 - 15:00

Here below is the programme of the Italian session.
