What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Norwegian seafood exporters and industry stakeholders are appealing to the Nigerian government regarding the duties placed on stockfish imports. They attribute the soaring prices in Nigeria to low cod catches, rising raw material costs, and high import duties. The exporters urged the Nigerian government to review the import duty on stockfish heads, noting they are an affordable protein source for many Nigerians. The Director for Africa at the Norwegian Seafood Council stated that the quantity of fish available for stockfish production is at its lowest in over three decades.
