Cod Landings Strong, Prices Hold Firm: What It Means Next
Early September cod landings reached about 26,645 tonnes across Iceland, Norway and the Faroes, while first-sales prices held firm around EUR 4.48/kg.
Cod landings in September are already notable. After peaks of around 54,700 tonnes in June and 40,700 tonnes in August, the first 17 days of September delivered about 26,645 tonnes across Iceland, Norway, and the Faroes. More landings are coming, but these early numbers suggest strong supply continuing into autumn.
How those ~26,645 tonnes break down by country
- Iceland: 18,359 t
- Norway: 6,033 t
- Faroes: 2,252 t
First-sales prices (through week 36) remain firm. September's average price is holding around EUR 4.48/kg, in line with August (~EUR 4.41/kg) and higher than July (~EUR 4.11/kg). Over the year, the Faroes maintain a clear premium (nearly EUR 1/kg above Iceland), and Norway's benchmark stays close to Icelandic levels.
Cod landings vs first-sales price, Jan-Sep 2025
With volumes strong and prices holding, margin dynamics are shifting and timing remains critical for both sides of the trade.
