Strong growth in wild catch and processing pushes the sector past the trillion-ruble milestone despite a sharp decline in aquaculture revenues

MOSCOW — Russia’s fishing industry achieved a historic milestone in 2025, with total revenue exceeding 1 trillion rubles (about $11 billion) for the first time, according to new data released by the Russian Fish Union based on statistics from Rosstat, the country’s federal statistics agency.

The industry’s revenue grew 14% compared with 2024, reflecting strong performance in both wild-capture fisheries and fish processing, sectors that together account for the majority of Russia’s seafood production and exports.

According to the analytical center of the Russian Fish Union, the growth highlights the expanding economic role of Russia’s fishing sector, which is one of the largest in the world in terms of catch volume and a key supplier of pollock, crab, cod, and salmon to global markets.

Catch and processing drive the surge

Revenue from fish harvesting companies rose 18%, reaching 630 billion rubles (approximately $6.9 billion) in 2025. Meanwhile, seafood processing companies recorded a 13% increase, generating 400 billion rubles (about $4.4 billion).

Industry analysts attribute this growth to several factors:

  • Strong export demand, particularly from Asian markets such as China and South Korea

  • Higher global seafood prices

  • Continued modernization of Russia’s fishing fleet under the government’s “investment quotas” program, which incentivizes companies to build new vessels and processing plants in exchange for fishing rights.

Russia is among the top five fishing nations in the world, with an annual catch typically exceeding 5 million tons, according to industry data.

Aquaculture revenue declines sharply

Despite the overall growth of the sector, aquaculture experienced a significant downturn.

Revenue in the fish farming segment fell 17%, dropping to 35 billion rubles (around $385 million). Industry observers cite rising feed costs, logistical challenges, and disease outbreaks in certain farmed species as contributing factors behind the decline.

Total sector turnover also expands

Beyond revenue, the overall turnover of Russia’s fishing industry also increased during the year.

Total turnover reached more than 1.2 trillion rubles (about $13.2 billion) in 2025, marking a 13% increase year over year.

Breakdown by segment:

  • Fishing companies: 673 billion rubles (about $7.4 billion), up 13%

  • Fish processing companies: 477 billion rubles (around $5.2 billion), up 14%

  • Aquaculture: 66 billion rubles (about $725 million), down 2%

Strategic sector for Russia’s economy

The fishing industry plays a critical role in Russia’s economy, particularly in Far Eastern regions such as Kamchatka, Primorsky Krai, and Sakhalin, where seafood exports are a major source of regional income and employment.

Russia remains the world’s largest producer of Alaska pollock, accounting for a dominant share of the global supply used in products such as surimi, fish fillets, and fish sticks.

Government officials and industry groups expect the sector to continue expanding in the coming years, especially as Russia seeks to increase domestic seafood processing capacity and diversify export markets amid shifting global trade conditions.

ロシアの漁業産業が歴史的な収益の壁を突破、2025年に110億ドルを超える

天然漁獲と加工の力強い成長が、養殖収益の大幅な減少にもかかわらず、業界を1兆ルーブルの節目へ押し上げる

モスクワ — ロシアの漁業産業は2025年に歴史的な節目を迎え、総収益が初めて**1兆ルーブル(約110億ドル)を超えた。これは、同国の統計機関であるロススタット(Rosstat)**のデータに基づき、**ロシア漁業連盟(Russian Fish Union)**が発表した。

同産業の収益は2024年と比べて14%増加し、天然漁業水産加工の両分野で力強い業績が見られた。これらの分野は、ロシアの水産物生産および輸出の大部分を占めている。

ロシア漁業連盟の分析センターによると、この成長はロシアの漁業部門の経済的重要性の拡大を示している。同国は漁獲量で世界有数の国の一つであり、スケトウダラ、カニ、タラ、サケなどを世界市場へ供給する主要国である。

漁獲と加工が成長を牽引

漁業会社(漁獲部門)の収益は18%増加し、2025年には6,300億ルーブル(約69億ドル)に達した。一方、水産加工会社13%増加し、**4,000億ルーブル(約44億ドル)**を記録した。

業界アナリストは、この成長の背景として以下の要因を挙げている。

  • 中国や韓国などアジア市場からの強い輸出需要

  • 世界的な水産物価格の上昇

  • 漁業権と引き換えに新しい船舶や加工工場の建設を促す政府の**「投資割当プログラム」**によるロシア漁船団の近代化の継続

業界データによれば、ロシアは通常年間500万トン以上の漁獲量を誇り、世界の漁業国トップ5に入っている。

養殖収益は大幅に減少

一方で、業界全体の成長にもかかわらず、**養殖(アクアカルチャー)**は大きく落ち込んだ。

養殖分野の収益は17%減少し、350億ルーブル(約3億8,500万ドル)となった。業界関係者は、この減少の要因として飼料コストの上昇、物流上の課題、そして一部の養殖魚種での疾病発生を挙げている。

業界全体の売上高も拡大

収益に加えて、ロシアの漁業産業の**総取引高(ターンオーバー)**もこの年に増加した。

総取引高は2025年に**1兆2,000億ルーブル(約132億ドル)**を超え、前年比13%増となった。

分野別内訳:

  • 漁業会社: 6,730億ルーブル(約74億ドル)13%増

  • 水産加工会社: 4,770億ルーブル(約52億ドル)14%増

  • 養殖: 660億ルーブル(約7億2,500万ドル)2%減

ロシア経済にとって戦略的な産業

漁業産業はロシア経済において重要な役割を果たしており、特にカムチャツカ、沿海地方、サハリンなどの極東地域では、水産物輸出が地域経済と雇用の主要な柱となっている。

ロシアは世界最大のアラスカスケトウダラ生産国であり、すり身、フィッシュフィレ、フィッシュスティックなどの製品に使用される世界供給の大部分を占めている。

政府関係者や業界団体は、ロシアが国内の水産加工能力を拡大し、輸出市場を多様化させることで、世界的な貿易環境の変化の中でも同産業が今後も拡大を続けると予想している。

俄罗斯渔业收入突破历史纪录,2025年超过110亿美元

尽管水产养殖收入大幅下降,野生捕捞和加工行业的强劲增长仍推动该行业突破一万亿卢布大关

莫斯科 —— 俄罗斯渔业产业在2025年实现了历史性里程碑,总收入首次超过1万亿卢布(约110亿美元)。这一数据由**俄罗斯渔业联盟(Russian Fish Union)根据国家统计机构俄罗斯联邦统计局(Rosstat)**的数据发布。

2024年相比,该行业收入增长了14%,主要得益于海洋捕捞业水产品加工行业的强劲表现,这两个领域占俄罗斯海产品生产和出口的绝大部分。

根据俄罗斯渔业联盟分析中心的说法,这一增长突显了俄罗斯渔业部门在经济中的日益重要地位。俄罗斯在全球渔获量方面位居世界前列,是狭鳕、螃蟹、鳕鱼和鲑鱼等产品的重要国际供应国。

捕捞与加工推动增长

捕捞企业的收入增长18%,在2025年达到6300亿卢布(约69亿美元)。与此同时,水产品加工企业收入增长13%,达到4000亿卢布(约44亿美元)

行业分析人士认为,这一增长主要受到以下因素推动:

  • 来自中国和韩国等亚洲市场的强劲出口需求

  • 全球海产品价格上涨

  • 政府**“投资配额计划”**推动俄罗斯渔船队持续现代化,该计划允许企业通过建造新船和加工厂来换取捕鱼配额

根据行业数据,俄罗斯通常每年捕捞量超过500万吨,是全球五大渔业国家之一

水产养殖收入大幅下降

尽管行业整体增长,水产养殖却出现明显下滑。

养殖行业收入下降17%,降至350亿卢布(约3.85亿美元)。业内人士指出,下降的原因包括饲料成本上涨、物流困难以及部分养殖鱼类疾病暴发

行业整体营业额继续增长

除了收入外,俄罗斯渔业行业的整体营业额也在当年实现增长。

2025年总营业额超过1.2万亿卢布(约132亿美元),同比增长13%

各细分领域如下:

  • 捕捞企业: 6730亿卢布(约74亿美元),增长13%

  • 水产品加工企业: 4770亿卢布(约52亿美元),增长14%

  • 水产养殖: 660亿卢布(约7.25亿美元),下降2%

对俄罗斯经济具有战略意义的行业

渔业产业在俄罗斯经济中发挥着关键作用,尤其是在远东地区,例如堪察加、滨海边疆区和萨哈林,水产品出口是当地收入和就业的重要来源。

俄罗斯是全球最大的阿拉斯加狭鳕生产国,占据全球供应的主导地位,这种鱼广泛用于生产鱼糜、鱼片和鱼条等产品。

政府官员和行业组织预计,随着俄罗斯努力扩大国内海产品加工能力并实现出口市场多元化,在不断变化的全球贸易环境中,该行业将在未来几年继续增长。
