Norway’s Trade with Indonesia and Thailand

The trade figures for June 2021 were released by SSB on 12 July. We took a look at the trade between Norway and Indonesia and Thailand.
We have listed the main commodities in the trade flow
Thailand
- Seafood exports from Norway are up 18% as compared to same period in 2020
- Fertiliser exports from Norway are up 75% as compared to same period in 2021
- Exports of metal structures, i.e. oil rigs from Thailand are up 5,155% as compared to same period in 2021. The figures look strange since this is a one-time periodical export of Aibel’s P2 module which took place in May 2021

- Total import NOK 4,950 million including metal structures of NOK 3,235 million in May 2021
Indonesia
- Seafood exports from Norway are down 19% as compared to same period in 2020. The main reason is that seafood from Norway is not able enter Indonesia since March 2021. This is connected to heath certificate reasons for Norwegian salmon and Fjord Trout. The Norwegian embassy in Jakarta is working on the issue.
