  5. The Report and this Presentation • The report follows the ToRs closely • This presentation: 60 minutes in total. Our objective is to present some highlights and some details from the report • The presentation complements the report

  6. Statistics & Data • Sources • Accuracy and relevance • Annexes

  7. FISH HARVESTINGOne of the world’s 10 top producers

  8. Fish and seafood harvest in 1999-2004 ( million tonnes) Source:Rosstat

  9. The main species(in 2003, '000 tonnes) Source: FAO *Mackerel catches: Atka mackerel included

  10. Fish and seafood harvest by zones in 2003, % Source:VNIERKH

  11. 5 MAIN FISHING ZONES/ BASINS Primary fish production (in ‘000 tonnes) * Estimate

  12. Total Allowable Catch (TAC) – • Utilisation of resources (2003) Source:VNIERKH

  13. Poaching “Over 75% of Russian Far East seafood smuggled” Intrafish, 22.09.05 “Russia, South Korea mull co-operation to fight illegal fish trade” Intrafish, 28.09.05 “Russians admit grand-scale fishery fraud –Groups of fishermen in north- west Russia admitted they fish much more cod than their quota allow” Intrafish, 19.08.05 “Illegal cod fishing a growing problem in Barents Sea” Intrafish, 12.08.05

  14. ICES – unreported catches of cod “Estimates on unreported catches of cod in 2002- 2004 indicate that this is a considerable problem. Unreported landings of cod are estimated at 90 000, 115 000, and 90 000tonnes in 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively, i.e. 20% in addition to official landing statistics.”

  15. THE NEW QUOTASYSTEM The Federal Law “on Fishery and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources” No.166-FZ of 20 December 2004 (the law on fisheries) Quota auctions (2003) - Allocations based on 5 year track record • Quotas used less than 50% over 2 years are withdrawn and reallocated through auctions • Auctions for new fisheries • Resource fees introduced Multiannual quotas of at least 5 years (2004)

  16. Likely developments in the quota system • Simplification of quota procedures • Regulations for implementation for quota transfers -2005? 2006? In the meantime, the quotas are sold unofficially • Foreign access to Russian quotas

  17. Key issues • Better use and better management of fish stocks in the Russian EEZ? • Better fleet management? • Consolidation of the fishing industry? • Degree of foreign ownership?

  18. FISH FARMING Strong potential?

  19. Dynamics of Russian fish farming (1991-2003, ‘000 tonnes) Source:Victor V. Ivin, Institute of Marine Biology,Vladivostok

  20. Species Freshwater culture • Carp, rainbow trout, whitefish, sturgeon. Mariculture • Molluscs, seaweeds and other organisms. Main species: mussels, oysters, scallops and kelp. • Marine farming of finfish is not widely developed but can become more important.

  21. Fish feed imports (tonnes) Source:GTK

  22. Fish farming equipment • Today: out-dated and non-specialised equipment • The need /demand for foreign equipment is there. Price? • Second-hand equipment from abroad. (2004:4.3 million USD) Demand for: • equipment for aeration • isothermal tanks for live transportation • feeding equipment • basins

  23. Key issues • Production target 2006: 600 000 tonnes ? • Legislation? • New equipment? • Financing and foreign investors? • Competition from other fish farming countries? • Market demand?

  24. THE FISHING FLEETOld and outdated or dynamic?

  25. Key figures Beginning of 2005: 5 531 units with a total capacity of 4 939 600 hp Structure of the larger fleet by type of vessel 70 % of total processing capacity is on-board Source:Russian maritime register

  26. Table 9: Age of fishing vessels, year end Old and Outdated? Age of fishing vessels, year end (number of large vessels over 55 kW) Source:VNIRO

  27. Equipment & Manufacture • Processing technology • 70% share of capacity declining, partly due to age – 25% domestic origin • Imports 2004: 4.3 million USD (Germany, Korea, Japan, DK, N, ISL) • Fishing gear – Competitive domestic net industry • Asian and European suppliers • Coastal vessels • Potential developments

  28. Key issues • Ship-owners confident in future? • Potential for modernisation/renewal? • Demand for new processing technology • Distant fisheries costly to operate • Financing and foreign investors?

  29. TRADEA Big Player

  31. Transhipments(fish exports, ‘000 tonnes) Source: GTK and Rosstat

  32. Major export markets (%) Source:Rosstat

  33. Booming Imports Source:State Customs Committee (GTK)* Preliminary data

  34. The major import sources • Norway - 36.0% • Great Britain - 7.1% • Mauritania - 5.6% • Iceland - 4.8%

  35. The Trade Regime • Import regulations - Import requirements - Practical aspects - Current tariffs/future tariffs following WTO accession - ”Imports” of fish caught by Russian vessels - Import measures - The case of Kaliningrad - FEZ

  36. Import duties

  37. The Trade Regime cont. • Export regulations - Export tariffs Declared aim: More of the Russian seafood harvest to be processed in Russia! Higher degree of processing of Russian seafood exports!

  38. Future developments in trade flows • Exports Asia? EU? Norway? The domestic market? Processed seafood? • Imports The example of herring? New species and new suppliers? Retail sector? Globalisation!

  39. Key issues • More Russian seafood processed by Russian on-shore plants? Influence on the trade regime? • WTO-membership? More stable trade regime_ • Free Trade Agreements ?

  46. The Russian consumer • Typical Tatjana and Ivan? • Price versus quality • Urban versus rural • Diversity

  47. Key issues • Continued economic growth? • Continued growth in retail? • Better distribution? • Regionalism? • More variety? New products, new suppliers?
