FEDC and leading market experts discussed the prospects for the development of Russian fish products

Participants in the industry session "From Glavrybsbyt to Market Diversity" at Russian Retail Week discussed fish consumption culture, fostering a positive attitude toward fish cuisine among children and young people as a staple food, developing logistics, storage and processing infrastructure, and markets for new types of aquatic products.

The event, held at the World Trade Center, brought together representatives of major retail chains, e-commerce companies, industry associations, fisheries operators, biotechnologists, and analysts. Dmitry Klyuneev, Director of the Fisheries Development Department at the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, participated in the discussion.

In terms of fish availability, Russia has almost caught up with the USSR: per capita consumption is 26 kg, compared to 30 kg during the Soviet era. The potential for exceeding this figure remains high. As recently as 2022, per capita consumption was only 22.8 kg, but this has increased over the past four years. This means that the Russian President's goal of reaching a per capita consumption of 28 kg by 2030 remains on track.
