Eurofish Business Platform facilitates the presence of Turkish delegation at St Petersburg event
Expanding international markets for Turkish farmed fish
As one of the services to its member countries, Eurofish International Organisation occasionally facilitates the participation of delegations at trade fairs around Europe. The Global Seafood Forum and Seafood Expo held in St. Petersburg, Russia on 14-16 September 2017 and organized by Expo Solutions Group together with Roscongress was a good opportunity to bring a delegation of officials and traders from Turkey to Russia. It gave the participants an opportunity both to explore the Russian seafood market and to introduce their products and services.

The largest event held by the Polish fish industry, the Fish Congress, was recently held for the 4th time in Sopot with a record number of participants. Under the official patronage of the Polish Minister of Maritime Economy and with the support of Eurofish International Organisation, the meeting is the fisheries industry’s annual management conference. Organized by the Fish Market Development Association in Gdynia, partners included the National Marine Fisheries Research Institute and the West Pomeranian University of Technology. This year the conference gathered over 300 participants and included 50 presentations in the plenary and thematic sessions.
Eurofish International Organisation works in close co-operation with its 12 member countries and has extensive experience in promoting the fisheries and aquaculture industry in these countries, and disseminating information about the post-harvest and aquaculture sectors through the pages of the EUROFISH Magazine. Eurofish also promotes sectoral institutions and the private sector in its member countries by supporting participation in joint booths at various seafood shows. This year the Eurofish stand at Seafood Expo Global also hosted the Ro-Pescador association from Romania. The association offered visitors samples of products traditional in Romania – marinated sprats and rapana (a marine snail) from the Black Sea, cold-smoked Atlantic mackerel, as well as cold-smoked carp and shad from the Danube delta. The samples proved popular with guests from all around the world – the joint stand attracted visitors from over 20 countries – and Daniel Buhai, the managing director of Ro-Pescador, says he will be back again next year.
