Portugal may receive less cod from Norway throughout 2026, a sign of tighter supply for a product that continues to carry enormous weight in the domestic market.
The expectation is for a fresh reduction in available volumes, in a context marked by fishing limitations and more restrictive resource management. The lower availability of raw material should be reflected in trade with Portugal, one of the most important destinations for Norwegian cod. Nevertheless, the Portuguese market remains a priority, given the scale of consumption and the historical connection to this product. For operators, this scenario may translate into greater pressure on supplies and higher costs throughout the chain.
In a country where cod continues to occupy a central place at the table and in the food trade, any drop in supply ends up having a direct impact on the market. Everything points, therefore, to 2026 being another demanding year for importers and distributors, with less margin in product availability and greater attention to price developments.
