I am happy to welcome you to the VII Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo Russia.
Fishery is currently a fundamental sector of the global economy and, despite the ongoing global transformation, this sector contributes a great deal to the food security of individual countries and the world’s population in general.
I am happy to welcome you to the VII Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo Russia.
Fishery is currently a fundamental sector of the global economy and, despite the ongoing global transformation, this sector contributes a great deal to the food security of individual countries and the world’s population in general.
Today, we are living and working in a time when the world order is changing and the import-export business transforming. We are seeing strengthening of partnerships based on mutually beneficial and long-term opportunities. Meanwhile, new relationships are emerging: the demand for fish products on global markets is growing, making cooperation in science and aquaculture more valuable.
The key international cooperation domains include regulation of fishing in the parts of the global ocean subject to regional sea conventions, as well as prevention of IUU fishing. These are essential conditions for preserving biodiversity and fish resources for future generations.
The Russian fishery industry is a sustainable business that responds promptly to all global challenges, including the sanctions pressure and turbulence in the world economy. Once again, our country has proven its status as a reliable international partner in the fishery industry.
The regulatory practices in Russia's fishery sector are underpinned by a streamlined approach based on recommendations from sectoral research institutions. Researchers are now working on new approaches to assessing and forecasting bioresources more accurately and introducing advanced technologies for aquaculture processing and production. In the last few years, fishery producers have been mastering deep processing technologies, which have helped them improve and expand their range of fish products.
Russia is proceeding with its ambitious project for modernizing the fishery sector by means of the investment quota mechanism, this allowing the country to build a high-tech fishing fleet, modern processing plants and logistics infrastructure. The first stage of the investment quota programme has proven effective: the industry has received large volumes of private investment for its infrastructure renovation, thus boosting domestic shipbuilding.
Digitalization is a crucial track in the industry's transformation. The advent of innovative solutions and digital technologies greatly facilitates fishermen's work, helping them deal with regulators a lot faster and with more transparency.
This year's Forum and Expo focuses on technological development of the fishery industry: its pivot from import dependence, development and introduction of domestic technologies, and greater competitiveness of the industry. Strengthening of technological sovereignty is a national priority pointed out by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Modernization of the fishery sector makes development of human resources even more relevant: we need to make professions in the industry more prestigious, offer better training to young professionals and help them find jobs and move up the career ladder.
All these objectives are on the Forum's agenda. We will discuss current trends in fishery technology and development opportunities, and offer solutions for improving production efficiency “from catch to shelf”, including pathways to promote Russian fish on local and global markets.
May all participants in this year's Forum and Expo have a rewarding experience, find reliable partners and interesting new projects!
