    With so little processed salmon , Norwegian salmon prices have reached their highest levels since Norway began compiling price data in 2000
    .
     
    "It's completely out of control, and now only those who absolutely have to supply are buying," said one exporter
    .
    On Friday afternoon, the exporter reported that prices were up almost NOK 10 (€1.
    03/$1.
    12) per kilogram from a week earlier
    .
    Almost no salmon is being processed while demand continues to recover, he said
    .
     
    Seafood Norway reported this week that the number of salmon in Norwegian cages at the end of March was 4% lower than a year earlier
    .
    The exporter said high prices posed challenges because the amount covered by credit insurance was capped
    .
    "Some customers now have to pay up front
    .
    The amount and the risk are starting to get pretty high," he said
    .
     
      "It's only going to get worse, prices are ridiculously high
    .
    We'll see
    .
    Demand from producers exceeds NOK 115 (EUR 11.
    94/USD 12.
    92), but so far we haven't bought anything," the second exporter said
    .
     
      A third exporter bought some of the main weight classes at NOK 116-120 (EUR 12.
    04-12.
    45/USD 13.
    03-13.
    48) per kg
    .
    "There's no problem putting it on the market, at least earlier in the week you'd be paying around NOK 120 (EUR 12.
    45/USD 13.
    48) per kilo," the exporter said
    .
     
      Prices are even higher for the largest fish
    .
    “For air-packed fish over 6kg, pay more than NOK 130 (EUR 13.
    49/USD 14.
    61) per kg and ship it to Oslo,” he said, noting that European processors who delayed their purchases have now started buying
    .
     
      The 80-90 NOK (8.
    30-9.
    34 EUR/8.
    99-10.
    12 USD) price was unacceptable to some buyers, but since they return to the market, the number of fish purchases will rise further
    .
     
      Current price of origin:
     
      3–4 kg - NOK 116/kg (€12.
    04/$13.

      4–5 kg - NOK 118/kg (€12.

      5–6 kg - NOK 120 (EUR 12.

    49 / USD 14.
    04-14.
    61) or more
    .
     
      However, not everyone agrees with these price levels
    .
    "It's a bit like coming up with a number
    .
    It's easy to report a price increase or decrease of NOK 5 (€0.
    51/$0.
    56) per kilo," said a fourth exporter
