Norwegian council kicks against CBN s inclusion of stockfish in banned list

By Prince Osuagwu & Godwin Oritshe The Norwegian Seafood Council has protested the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN’s inclusion of stockfish in the list of banned goods to be imported into the country. The council urged CBN to reconsider the policy as it has a grave implication of not only affecting the bilateral trade between Norway and Nigeria, but also aggravate the dwindling protein requirements of the citizens of the country. The council recounted that stockfish is not found in Nigerian waters and will in no way affect the local content policy of the country. At a two-day seafood seminar in Lagos, the incumbent Minister of Fisheries and Seafood, Norway, Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen, said despite the popularity of stockfish in Nigeria, it does not pose a threat to the encouragement of increased local production of fish in Nigeria as the imported volume is relatively low.

Norway Continues Whale Slaughter with 2021 Hunting Quota

Photo by N. Seeliger February 23, 2021 Washington, DC In defiance of a global moratorium on commercial whaling, Norway has again issued an annual kill quota of 1,278 minke whales for the 2021 whaling season. On Friday, Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen, Norway’s Minister of Fisheries and Seafood, announced the quota, which remains unchanged from last year. Ingebrigtsen said he hopes the “upward trend in demand for whale meat will continue.” Echoing Ingebrigtsen’s sentiment, the whaling industry claims that demand for whale meat has improved, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, Norway has seen a continuous drop in domestic sales of whale meat in recent years. A survey commissioned by the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) and others found that only 4 percent of Norwegians polled admitted to eating whale meat “often,” while two-thirds either have never eaten it or only did so “a long time ago.”

Norway over-reliant on foreign workers

Norway over-reliant on foreign workers February 8, 2021 NEWS ANALYSIS: Norway’s over-reliance on relatively low-paid foreign workers in a variety of industries, not least fishing, has become glaringly apparent during the Corona crisis. It has also contributed to the demise of the working class in Norway, and may explain why the Labour Party has been losing voters for years. Tons of fresh fish are and will be pouring into processing and packing plants along the Norwegian coast this winter. Most of the workers preparing the fish for market come to Norway from Eastern Europe, with closed borders showing how overly reliant the industry has become on foreign workers in general.
