A surge in Alaska pollock, a staple for China, has led to a crisis in the Far East as the country's warehouses and enterprises struggle to store and process the excess. The situation is worsened by China's halt on imports due to coronavirus sanitary restrictions, resulting in Russia redirecting its exports to countries like Korea and Japan. The crisis has led to a quarterly price increase and a scarcity of storage space for the unsold fish. The Association of Fishery Enterprises of the Primorsky Territory is advocating for a state order to purchase the fish for local needs as a potential solution.
