Clipfish accounts for around 2/3 of the annual export value for salted and clipfish, and corresponds to as much as NOK 5 billion annually. Major societal changes in the most important markets in Brazil and Portugal mean that customers are increasingly demanding products that simplify the preparation of traditional clipfish. The Norwegian clipfish industry is now experiencing strong competition from low-cost countries such as China and Portugal, and over the past five years has lost large market shares in favor of diluted clipfish products from these countries. The industry is facing a restructuring to meet the challenge. Brødrene Sperre AS accounts for around 14% of the annual production of salt and clipfish in Norway, and wants to develop processes for the production of industrially diluted salt and clipfish product (CoPro) with Norwegian raw materials, in Norway. This requires new expertise along the entire value chain. The project has an interdisciplinary consortium of relevant industry players and R&D environment. The project seeks to develop profitable and sustainable processes that can enable the production of competitive CoPro for current and future markets. The focus is on processes such as industrial dilution and innovative packaging technology to safeguard characteristic sensory parameters and at the same time long shelf life. Pilot scale experiments will be carried out for mapping important parameters, before processes for industrial scale production can be developed in collaboration with technology suppliers (Optimarstette AS, Vartdal Plastindustri AS). Bacalaofabrikken AS contributes experience with small-scale production of CoPro for the Norwegian market. For profitable operation, automation of processes will be important. R&D partners (Møreforsking AS, Nofima AS, ANFACO) have extensive experience with various projects on salted and clipfish and will carry out research at all stages of the process, with first-hand knowledge of raw material treatment, dilution and packaging technology.
