Russia to shift more pollock to South Korea

Russia's Far East Center for Regional Studies (FECRS) predicted the country’s seafood exports to South Korea are poised to climb, the result of the Asian country's fishing restrictions and continued demand for key Russian products such as pollock.

FECRS predicted imports would rise from 1.1 percent this year to 4.1 percent in 2020, reaching 426,500 metric tons in 2020, a level more than 12 percent higher than the imports in 2015.

Fishing quotas for South Korean harvesters in Russian waters fell from 60,000 metric tons to 38,000 metric tons in 2015.
