Primorsky Krai investors in the Russian Far East are implementing four projects for the construction of logistics complexes, with a total announced investment in excess of ₽120 billion (US$1.5 billion), according to Yana Ryzhkova, Deputy Minister of Forestry, Environmental Protection, Wildlife, and Natural Resources of Primorsky Krai.

She has stated that Primorsky local companies have announced the construction of 39 fishing vessels—28 crab catchers and 11 fishing vessels, 11 of which are being built at shipyards in the region. “This announced investment amount is more than ₽119 billion. Currently, 15 vessels have been built and have begun fishing—10 crab catchers and 5 fishing vessels. In addition, three new fish processing plants will be built in the region by 2029, with a total investment of about ₽2.2 billion.

A large plant for processing pollock and other types of fish in Nakhodka was commissioned this year. New World Fishing Collective Farm Joint Stock Company (Dobroflot Group of Companies) invested ₽1.5 billion in the project, creating 376 jobs. Another large plant (Yuzhmorrybflot Joint Stock Company) and two small capacity plants (Veles-snack Limited Liability Company) are announced for construction until 2029, with a further investment volume of ₽2.2 billion.”

Primorsky Krai has several major fishing ports, with products exported throughout Russia and abroad. The first half of this year saw a significant increase in fish and seafood exports, rising 13% in value to more than US$3.1 billion between January and July 2025, according to figures released by Agroexport.

From January to September 2025, Russia’s fish and seafood exports to China reached a record US$2.2 billion, marking a 13% year-on-year increase. Exports to other Asian markets such as Vietnam and Japan have also increased. These investments are indicative that the Primorsky Krai fisheries sector see additional growth in coming years.
