Congratulations from Dmitry Patrushev on Fisherman's Day
Dear colleagues!
I congratulate the workers and veterans of the Russian fisheries complex on Fisherman's Day.
Fishing industry is one of the most important sectors of the Russian economy, which makes a significant contribution to ensuring not only national but also global food security. Russia is one of the leading countries in terms of volumes of aquatic bioresources production, and seeks to strengthen its position in the global fisheries industry and develop aquaculture production.
The President of our country has outlined a strategic goal to further increase production and export of agricultural products. Fishing industry is an integral part of this goal. And much has already been done to achieve it. Thanks to the investment quota program, the industry infrastructure is being updated – modern fishing vessels, processing plants and logistics centers are being built.
To support enterprises, the state implements comprehensive measures aimed at increasing innovation, introducing advanced environmentally friendly technologies throughout the entire chain from catching aquatic bioresources to releasing the finished product. This allows us to provide for the domestic market and increase export potential. Specialized science also plays an important role in the technological development and sustainable operation of the domestic fish industry.
I would like to point out that all these successes would be impossible without people. The Russian fisheries industry employs more than 125 thousand people – professionals, experts, who love their work. I thank all workers in the fishing industry for their conscientious work and wish them health, prosperity, development and new successes.
