Iceland aims to increase fish exports to Russia

Iceland intends to increase exports of fish and fish products to Russia and hopes to find new suppliers to the market following Russia’s food-import ban on products from the European Union, Commercial Representative at the Icelandic Embassy in Moscow Ilona Vasilieva told RIA Novosti.

"Our suppliers have stepped up and new buyers appeared in Russia. The major item of Icelandic exports to Russia is fish and fish products, and we hope the supply of this product grows," Vasilieva said.

The trade representative also said Iceland, which is not part of the European Union, hoped for its dairy enterprises to be certified to export to Russia, as well.
