At the Round Table «Implementation of State Support Measures for Increasing Amounts of Fish-Products Delivery Along the Northern Sea Route: Challenges, Tasks, Solutions», Lyudmila Talabayeva, member of the Federation Council Committee on Agrarian and Food Policy and Environmental Management, noted that in the current situation, during the sanctions pressure, Russia must develop shipbuilding and increase the share of Russian-made vessels in the domestic market. 

«Developing our own fleet will make it possible to increase amounts of fish products supplied to the domestic markets of the country along the Northern Sea Route, as an alternative to railway transportation, and will contribute to the increase in fish consumption from 22 to 28 kg per year per person», emphasized Lyudmila Zaumovna.

Participants in the discussion analyzed challenges faced by companies engaged in delivery of fish products along the Northern Sea Route, as well as considered tasks and solutions related to implementation of necessary state support measures. During the discussion, ways of improving coastal infrastructure, capacities for optimizing transport logistics, and opportunities for improving efficiency of operational delivery processes, which all together will make this route more attractive to participants in the fishing industry, were talked about.

Concluding the debate, Lyudmila Talabayeva stressed that she would articulate many of the issues raised at the Round Table at the federal level.
