UK imports of Russian whitefish plunge 99% in December as tariffs take their toll

By the end of 2022, the volume of whitefish imported directly from Russia into the UK was 21% lower than it was in 2021.

'There was no observed sudden drop in import volume in July, instead it isn’t until September 2022 that we start to see a meaningful decline in the trade statistics,' said Joe Cooper, economics researcher at Seafish.
