Whether you are in Russia or any other part of the world, it would be wise to look at the fish feed market opportunity in support of the world-wide growth of aquaculture.\u00a0 Regionally, for the last couple of years aquaculture has been the buzz word in the Russian feed industry.\u00a0 There are only a few feed mills in the whole country that are fish feed manufacturers.<\/p>\n

The demand for the locally produced feeds was pretty low due to the fact that most of the fish has been imported, for example, until recently 95% of feeds for salmon and sturgeon have been imported.\u00a0 However, due to recent food embargo introduced by Russia in 2014 aquaculture sector boosted significantly. \u00a0Norway was impacted most of all since it has been the major fish supplier to the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

The Russian aquaculture industry has received the status of \u2018strategically important in terms of import substitution\u2019.\u00a0 This means that the Russian Government will allocate 3 billion rubles ($45 million dollars) to subsidize the aquatic sector.\u00a0 Aquaculture production is forecasted to grow from 150 000 tons in 2015 to 410 000 tons by 2020.<\/p>\n

Carp, salmon and sturgeon can be considered the three main species in aquaculture production in Russia.\u00a0 Main production areas are the Russian North West and Far East.\u00a0 Recently, more small fish farms appear in the southern parts of the country like Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don and Stavropol.\u00a0 Due to high currency exchange rate the timing is right for those farms to substitute costly imported fish feeds with locally produced high quality alternatives.<\/p>\n

The MS3000 Medium Shear Extruder<\/a>, with the appropriate supporting equipment like a post-extrusion fat coater, is capable of making nearly any type of aquafeed.\u00a0 Recent research with small dies has resulted in the production of small pellets (about 1.4 mm diameter) \u2013 this will feed nearly any juvenile farmed fish.\u00a0 Combined with service and support, including engineering, maintenance, and nutrition, for the life of the extruder, the MS3000 Medium Shear Extruder fits well into small-to-medium fish feed enterprises.<\/p>\n
