About 100 thousand. Tonnes of salmon can be implemented in September in China. This was reported by a representative of the Sakhalin fishing companies after the outcome of the negotiations with the Chinese traders, informs «Pacific Russia».

«Chinese companies have confirmed their intention to purchase in Russia for almost 100 thousand. Far Eastern salmon. This is the annual volume, which in recent years, Chinese companies acquired in Russia. It is true this year, Chinese companies have decided to act consolidated to achieve a reduction in the price. It was decided that the first contracts for the purchase of salmon will be from 1 September. Calculation of Chinese entrepreneurs that the end of August — beginning of September — traditionally the peak salmon season. At this time, cold chain facilities in the region almost fully loaded, and the Far East the way there are difficulties with sending fish. As a result, the price of salmon is the lowest, and it is on this count and the Chinese, «- said the fishermen.

As regards the structure of supply, it is expected that most of China’s «favorites» will be salmon, but Putin can still make adjustments. Pink salmon for the Chinese may not be enough, so the missing part may be substituted or Ketoi coho.

At the same time, some experts questioned the Chinese wholesale. The weakening of the RMB and the lack of orders for Chinese products from European fish processing companies affects the demand for raw materials for Chinese refiners.

Meanwhile, the price of fish in the domestic market steadily going up. Price PBG kilograms of pink salmon (gutted without head) and HP (not cleaned) has passed for 140 rubles, PSG pink salmon (gutted with head) — 130 rubles. Total in just the past two weeks the price of salmon has increased the lead to 15-20 rubles.

But even the high price in the domestic market did not benefit eliminates export. According to market participants, blame several factors. First of all, it’s attractive prices external market and a large amount of games. The second factor is the same financial, Russian companies are on a single agricultural tax, and when there are transactions on the export VAT.

Another Far East salmon — sockeye — has already been successfully sent to the Japanese market. Of the more than 20 thousand. Tonnes of valuable fish caught in Kamchatka, almost 90% is sold to Japan. Russian companies are heavily engaged in providing the market of Japan, which after the news of the ban drift-net fishing in the Russian EEZ emerged high demand for sockeye. It is noteworthy that the companies producing salmon drifters also implemented more than six thousand. Tonnes of fish is in Japan.

Lack of fish streams noticed on the railway — in spite of a sufficient number of vehicles, cargo owners prefer to sell the catch to the Asia-Pacific region. The reason — a significant appreciation of the dollar against the ruble, which makes sales abroad more profitable than providing the domestic market.

In general, the I half of 2015 in the Far Eastern Railway refsektsii and wagons thermoses shipped 166 thous. Tons of fish, which is 0.3% below the same period last year. Loading in refrigerated totaled 122.2 thousand. Tonnes, an increase over the same period last year amounted to 3.2%.

How true predictions about Chinese traders volumes will become clear in two weeks. If the information is confirmed, from 220 thousand. Produced salmon on the domestic market will get only about 100-120 thous., Which certainly will push prices up salmon fish only.

I hope the Russians to reduce prices and increase the range of salmon still exist, but they can be buried reports from fishing in the Sakhalin region. Despite the fact that since the beginning of the fishing season has already held 20 catches and possible adjustments to initial estimates of the TAC increased to 496 ths. Tons, the actual yield will depend on the approach of «late» pink salmon on the east coast of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands chum.
