In the first eleven months of the previous year, Russia demonstrated significant growth in its seafood exports to China, with figures revealing a remarkable 102% increase in volume. The value of these exports also saw a notable rise of 38%, totaling approximately 1,100,000 mt of seafood valued at $2 billion shipped to China between January and November.
This surge in exports is complemented by a concurrent increase in seafood imports from China to Russia, which grew by 6% to reach 52,000 tonnes during the same period. These imports included squid, tuna, canned products, crustaceans, and shrimp, amounting to a total value of $286 million.
Noteworthy items among Russia’s exports to China include just over half a million tonnes of frozen pollock, 213,000 mt of small pelagics, 111,000 mt of frozen herring, 62,000 mt of fishmeal, and 29,000 mt of frozen cod, further illustrating the depth of trade between the two nations in the seafood sector.
