FHF Seafood Processing and Market R&D Program

FHF's Seafood Processing and Market R&D Program covers the downstream side of Norway's seafood sector under the same industry-financed funder. It supports work on quality measurement, processing technology, by-product utilisation, and market or value-chain analysis. Active calls in 2026 include projects on antioxidants for seafood silage, robotic by-product sorting, white-fish quality measurement, fillet processing, marine by-product analysis, and ripple-effects or value-creation studies. Applications are submitted through the FHF portal with ID-porten login, calls are recurring through the year, and project sizes are typically in the 3 to 10 MNOK range with durations of one to three years. The 2026 budget line for product quality and processing is 36.4 MNOK, which shows how much weight the funder gives to practical downstream improvements. The best fits are proposals that turn processing or market questions into applied work with measurable industry value. Applicants that can connect product quality, resource use, or commercial insight to a concrete seafood workflow are closest to the programme's practical style, especially when processors, researchers, and market partners can show a clear path to use.
