Russia Can Cut Fish Supplies to China

The volume of Russian fish supplies to China may be reduced due to coronavirus, and products will have to be diverted to other markets. This was reported to journalists on February 5 by the head of Rosrybolovia Ilia Shestakov. Supplies may decline due to a decline in consumption in the PRC, suffering from a new virus. In Russia, the situation is monitored, and it is monitored by fishermen to redirect freeing volumes to other markets. Among other things, we are talking about exporting about 600 thousand tons of mint. Volumes of Chinese fish going to Russia, Rosrybolovy considers insignificant, it is slightly more than 100 thousand tons. They will not have an impact on the market situation. Rosryboly cannot decide on a possible ban on the import of Chinese fish products. This is the prerogative of Rospotrebnadzor and Rosselkhoznadzor, Shestakov also explained. According to the news agency, on February 5, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Maxim Uvaydov said that the restriction of the supply of Chinese food products is not yet considered by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation as one of the measures against the new coronavirus.
