Barriers and Drivers of Fish Consumption in Russia: Marketing and Development of Healthy Nutrition of the Population

Building A, level 6, Exhibition of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic
More than 4 million tonnes of fish and seafood were caught in the Far East in 2023. This is 76% of the aquatic bioresources harvested in the Russian Federation. The Far Eastern fishery basin ranks first in Russia in terms of aquatic bioresources production. However, not every Russian has ever tasted the meat of Far Eastern crab or scallops. Why, given the significant volumes of aquatic bioresources extraction and export of fish and seafood in the Far East, are these valuable dietary products not available to Russians and are in short supply in the diet of the country's population? What are the fish and seafood consumption habits of the Russian population and why have such stereotypes of food behaviour developed? How can existing barriers be reduced and dietary fish and seafood from the Far East be included in the regular diet of Russians? How can we introduce a culture of fish consumption? The state and business are interested in stimulating consumption of fish and seafood and promoting products on the domestic market. What can each market player do at its own stage and when is their synergy important?
