Congratulations Dmitry Patrushev Happy Fisherman Day
Dear colleagues!
Congratulations to workers and veterans of the fisheries complex of Russia on the day of the fisherman.
Fisheries are 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 among the countries – leaders in terms of extraction of aquatic biological resources, seeks to strengthen their positions in world fishing and develop aquaculture production.
The president of our country indicates a strategic goal for further increasing production and exports of agro -industrial products. Fisheries are an integral part of this goal. And a lot has already been done to achieve it. Thanks to the investment quota program, industry infrastructure is updated – modern fishing vessels, processing plants and logistics centers are built.
To support enterprises, the state implements comprehensive measures that are aimed at the growth of innovation, the introduction of advanced environmentally friendly technologies along the entire chain from catching aquatic biological resources to the release of the finished product. This allows you to provide the domestic market and increase export potential. A specialized science plays an important role in the technological development and sustainable work of domestic fishing.
I note that all these successes would be impossible without people. More than 125 thousand people are employed in the Russian fisheries complex – professionals, experts who love their job. I thank all the workers of the fish industry for conscientious work and wish you health, prosperity, development and new successes.
