  • Kazakhstan diversifies fish exports to Europe, CIS

    KAZAKHSTAN, 2015/09/18 Kazakhstan increased the volume of fish production in order to diversify its export supplies to the European and CIS nations. The Kazakh company on the fish production in the Atyrau region has recently signed agreements with their partners from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Georgia, and France to prevent the possible large losses. The current instable economic situation and as a result the ruble decline has significantly influenced on the export of fish from Kazakhstan. The company exported about 2,000 tons of dried or frozen carp, bream, roach, pike, catfish, and pike-perch fillet over the previous year, but presently this figure has double decreased.
