Russia expects fish export revenue to remain at 2025 level in 2026 -- Shestakov

Russia expects fish and seafood export revenue to stay near the 2025 level in 2026, Federal Agency for Fishery head Ilya Shestakov said in an interview with TASS ahead of the Eastern Economic Forum. Shestakov estimated export earnings may remain around $6 billion, noting that prices are rising—especially for pollock—over the past six months. For 2025, Russia exported 2.1 million metric tons of fish products worth more than $6 billion. The comments suggest the government is planning around a flat revenue target despite market fluctuations, with the pollock price trend acting as a key offset.
