India–Russia Talks to Expand Fisheries, Meat & Dairy Trade

Aiming to strengthen bilateral cooperation, India and Russia are working to expand mutual trade in fisheries, animal, and dairy products, while resolving market access issues and accelerating establishment listings for export. On the sidelines of the 23rd India–Russia Annual Summit, Rajiv Ranjan Singh, India’s Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying (FAHD), met Oxana Lut, Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, in New Delhi.

The discussions centred on enhancing collaboration in research, education, and emerging aquaculture technologies, including deep-sea fishing vessels, modern aquaculture systems, and processing technologies.

Singh highlighted that India exported USD 7.45 billion worth of fish and fishery products in 2024–25, of which USD 127 million were shipped to Russia. He underscored the potential to further diversify exports with products such as shrimp, prawns, mackerel, sardines, tuna, crab, squid, and cuttlefish. The Russian side affirmed its readiness to import fishery and meat products from India and expressed interest in developing the trout market through a joint technical project that could evolve into joint ventures.

The official statement also noted that 12 Indian dairy manufacturers, including Amul/GCMMF, are awaiting registration with Russia’s FSVPS for exporting butter and dairy products. Singh urged the Russian side to expedite approvals for these pending establishments.

The meeting further emphasised cooperation in fisheries technology, particularly technology transfer for deep-sea fishing vessels, wider adoption of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) and Biofloc, and capacity building in modern aquaculture methods.
