The agriculture sector in Norway is characterized by large, established companies, many of which are global players in seafood and crop nutrition. Key players include Yara International, a global leader in sustainable crop nutrition, and Mowi, a global seafood company. TINE, a cooperative owned by milk farmers, produces dairy products, while Nortura, an agricultural cooperative, provides meat and eggs. Kverneland Group develops agricultural implements, and Skretting is a global leader in aquaculture nutrition.
A notable pattern among these companies is the strong presence of the seafood industry, with several major firms like Mowi, Lerøy Seafood Group ASA, and Marine Harvest Group headquartered in Bergen. Many of these companies were founded in the late 19th or early 20th century, indicating a long-standing industrial base in Norwegian agriculture.

How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
