OSLO, Oct 12 (Reuters) - The price for Norwegian farmed
salmon is expected to rise 1-2 crowns to 55-57 crowns per kilo
next week for deliveries in Oslo, two industry sources told
Reuters on Friday.
    Prices this week were originally expected to be in the range
50-53 crowns but came out somewhat higher.
    "Prices are rising 1-2 crowns to about 56-57 crowns at
mid-size salmon (3-6 kilos)," said a producer who declined to be
named.
    An exporter also expected a price rise of about 1-2 crowns,
adding that this would likely yield an average price of around
55 crowns.
    "It's been a good week, I think we might see a price rise
ahead," he added.
    In the forward market all contracts up to 2020, except the
October 2018 contract, were above 60 crowns per kilo. The
highest price is for the December 2018 contract which stands at
67.35 crowns per kilo, according to data from Fish Pool.
