The entry of Russian pollock caviar into the Chinese markets could provide stability for Russian companies, particularly those in the Far East, according to German Zverev, President of the All-Russian Association of Fishing Industry. Currently, Russian enterprises are heavily dependent on the Japanese market for pollock caviar exports, so expanding into China would give them greater confidence. Zverev also mentioned that Russian enterprises are exploring new markets for other products such as surimi and cod products for Southern Europe.
