Russian Sea Group was prompted to clarify statements that it was negotiating to acquire Far Eastern fishing groups after Russian pollock companies vigorously denied the existence of such talks.
While Russian Sea is indeed looking at entering the fishing sector through partnerships or acquisitions, the company has not named any specific companies that it may be in talks with, the company said in a statement on FishNews.ru.
In recent weeks, Russian Sea’s CEO Timofey Tarasov has been quoted in Russian media saying the group was in talks to acquire Far East fishing groups.
