Exports of Scottish salmon have jumped to an astounding value of £645 million - the highest value across the last five years - amidst growing demand.
Scottish salmon exports have surged to £645 million, reaching their highest level in five years as international demand continues to grow. New HMRC data analysed by trade body Salmon Scotland shows that in the first four months of 2024 alone, the value of exports soared by £65 million to £250 million - a 36 per cent increase on the same period last year.

The increase in value of Scottish salmon coincided with an increase in export volumes, which rose by a significant 35 percent. Much of this volume was destined for the European market, which imported 26,000 tonnes of salmon across 40 countries within the first four months of 2024. France remains the largest market for Scottish salmon, importing £143 million of Scottish salmon so far this year.
