For the third consecutive year, the city of St. Petersburg will host the Global Fishery Forum and Seafood Expo, the Russian fishery sector’s key event.

The Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo 2019 will take place from 10–12 July 2019 in St. Petersburg, the Russian Federation’s port city on the Baltic Sea. Organized by the Federal Agency for Fishery, the Forum is the fishery sector’s key event in Russia and the perfect platform for aquaculture professionals to promote international trade, advanced equipment and technology. 

Seafood Expo Russia will feature more than 300 exhibiting companies from 25 countries and is expected to attract more than 7000 visitors from around the world. The three-day event will bring together leading aquaculture professionals to discuss the status and the latest developments of the seafood industry and potential emerging technologies.

In 2017 and 2018, the Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo was held in September. This year, Russia will welcome Forum participants on the eve of its national Fisherman’s Day, traditionally celebrated on the second Sunday in July. 

The main theme of the third forum is “Ocean of Opportunities: Nature, Economy, and People.” Topics covered include: 

• the digitalization of the fisheries industry

• economic efficiency, social stability, and competition in natural resource industries

• problems and potential of the fishing industry in the Arctic and Antarctic

• new instruments for the economic regulation of the fishing industry in Russia

For the second consecutive year, FAO GLOBEFISH will participate in the Seafood Expo with a dedicated booth intending to meet countries, organizations, traders, and all fisheries stakeholders to exchange ideas on how to contribute to sustainable growth in the aquaculture sector.
