Russia launches ambitious plan to rebuild farmed salmon market

The market could recover to levels seen prior to Russia's ban of Norwegian salmon imports -- but the fish would largely come from domestic farmers.

In 2018, Russia’s production of farmed salmonids, including Atlantic salmon and trout, increased 20 percent compared with the previous year, to reach 67,000 metric tons.
