Seafood industry enters Russian markets

Business Recorder reported that Pakistan's seafood industry is widening its presence abroad, with local products drawing rising interest and recognition in Russia. Seagreen Enterprises chief executive Asim Abrar is leading Pakistan's participation in a seafood exhibition in St. Petersburg, working with the Pakistan Trade Mission in Russia.

According to Abrar, Russian buyers and visitors have responded in a very encouraging way, pointing to considerable scope for Pakistani seafood shipments to Russia. He credited the Pakistan Trade Mission, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Marine Fisheries Department with helping to open market access.

Abrar called the growing Russian interest in Seagreen a significant achievement. He said it also suggested that Pakistani seafood can hold its own in international markets, a development he described as encouraging for the country.
