The fact that Norwegians have stayed home this summer, among other things, has led to more of us being in Norway during barbecue season and far less Swedish trading than before.
TEST: Perfect grilled meat?
As is well known, trips to parts of Sweden have only opened periodically recently.
The result is that pork sales have risen 4 percent from May to now, reports the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture. This compared to the same period last year.
Pig production has been reduced due to the surplus, but demand has been so great that all stocks have been emptied, and now in September there is not a single whole pig in stock.
Another type of meat, on the other hand, is the surplus.
– Significant increase
– The decrease in production was initially desired and planned. A purchase scheme was established to reduce profits and the market regulator requested a reduction. Then came the crown outbreak and demand increased markedly, says section chief Harald Weie at the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture.
But Christmas ribs are not in jeopardy, as Norway has duty-free and quota-free quotas with a reduced tariff for EU frozen pork.
– Because we can supplement with imports, there is enough pork to meet the demand of Norwegian consumers, says Weie.
Various dairy cows
The demand for milk and eggs has also increased in recent months. One consequence of this is that livestock production has declined as demand for milk has led farmers to raise more dairy cows.
The Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture also claims that there is a surplus of lamb, so this fall’s sauerkraut dinners can be simmered on the stove as usual.
