A new processing complex with capacity to handle 80,000 tonnes of raw material annually is planned by the Gidrostroy group of companies for the Russian Far East island of Sakhalin.
The new plant aims to deliver a range of fully-processed consumer products, and this initiative is taking place as part of the Russian government’s investment quotas programme.
‘It is important that fish processing plants are being built as part of the second stage of investment quota distribution. One of the most modern plants on Sakhalin is being built here. Similar facilities exist on the Kuril Islands, and this will be the largest enterprise on Sakhalin,’ said Federal Fisheries Agency head Ilya Shestakov during a visit to the site, where the new production plant is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2026.
‘There are big plans for the development of the fishing industry in Sakhalin, we visited the site in the port where the reconstruction of berthing facilities is beginning, the site for the logistics complex is ready. All this will support the fishing industry,’ Ilya Shestakov said.
