Fishery complex of the Republic of Karelia will be represented by the Karelian Fishing Fleet Group of Companies, which includes RK Virma LLC, Soglasie LLC, Pelagika LLC, Azimut LLC, engaged in commercial fishing in the Barents Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and Rybotorgovaya Set LLC and Barents Group LLC, which last year built two fish processing plants within the framework of investment quotas. The exposition in the aquaculture sector of exhibition will be presented by Fish Farm Kala-Ranta JSC, Inforika LLC and by collective stand of Karelian Association of Trout Breeders.

According to the Republic of Karelia Minister of Fisheries Vladimir Labinov, the fishing industry is one of the most important and actively developing areas of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic, which is a leader in trout cultivation not only in the North-West Federal District, but in Russia as a whole, and also has potential for further development of the aquaculture sector.

The priority direction of the region's fishing industry is the development of fish processing. The introduction of closed water supply technology and the development of the resource base of the White Sea should increase volumes of fish production. As part of the investment quotas program, the region's fishing enterprises are building five fishing vessels to catch cod and haddock in the Barents Sea.

“The Republic of Karelia has good perspectives for the development of the fishery complex in all directions, and Global Fishery Forum will become a key platform for establishing business relations in this area,” said Vladimir Labinov.

IV Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo Russia 2021 is the largest event in the Russian fishing industry. The event will take place on 8-10 September 2021 at the Expoforum Exhibition and Convention Centre in Saint Petersburg.
