Seafood Expo Russia, the country’s largest and most influential fisheries and seafood event, is launching a new dedicated exhibition zone in 2025 focused on aquaculture: AQUA FARM GLOBAL. This initiative was created in response to growing interest and demand from visitors and participants, reflecting the rapidly expanding role of aquaculture in Russia's seafood economy.
AQUA FARM GLOBAL will bring together global players, including hatcheries, fish farms, engineering, and biotechnology companies, providing a specialized platform for innovation, business development, and cross-border collaboration.
Why Now? Why Russia?
Russia’s aquaculture sector has experienced a period of rapid growth, with the volume of farmed fish more than doubling over the past decade. In 2023, aquaculture production exceeded 384,000 tons, and demand continues to rise. This growth is supported by state-backed development programs, increasing domestic consumption, and new export ambitions.
To sustain this growth, the sector is seeking innovative solutions in areas such as:
AQUA FARM GLOBAL – Responding to Real Market Demand
Over the past three years, aquaculture has become one of the most popular topics at the Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo Russia. In 2024, 18.74% of visitors specifically focused on aquaculture solutions. Participants from Turkey, China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and other countries showcased their technologies, underlining the global relevance of the Russian market.
The launch of AQUA FARM GLOBAL is a strategic response to this momentum, enabling companies to present practical solutions and access large-scale business opportunities in the sector.
Part of Seafood Expo Russia - Targeted Visibility and Broad Reach
AQUA FARM GLOBAL will be fully integrated into the main Seafood Expo Russia event, allowing participants to benefit from:
At the heart of the exhibition will be a fully functional recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) operating under live biological load, allowing real-time demonstrations of participant technologies. Surrounding this interactive hub will be a wide range of actors, including fish farms, equipment manufacturers, feed producers, veterinary service providers, genetics specialists, consultants, and engineering firms.
What Will Be Showcased?
The centerpiece of AQUA FARM GLOBAL will be a fully operational RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) under live biological conditions, where participant technologies can be demonstrated in real time. Surrounding this interactive core will be companies from the following sectors:
Turkish Companies: Proven Success and Expanding Opportunities
Turkish aquaculture suppliers have actively participated in the Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo Russia in recent years, introducing fish farming systems, feeds, hatchery innovations, and engineering expertise to the Russian market. As a result, many Turkish companies have established long-term business partnerships and integrated into local distribution chains.
Importantly, economic ties between Turkey and Russia are rapidly strengthening, and aquaculture is becoming a focal sector of mutual interest. Turkish companies are not only offering technical expertise but also benefiting from growing diplomatic and commercial relations.
In particular, Turkish trout has seen strong demand among Russian consumers and producers. Russian fish farms are seeking hatcheries and technologies that can match the taste, growth rate, and quality of Turkish trout. This opens a clear path for Turkish exporters to supply genetics, feed, and RAS-compatible systems.
Now, with AQUA FARM GLOBAL, Turkish companies will gain greater visibility and direct access through a dedicated platform, seizing major opportunities in Russia’s fast-growing aquaculture market.
A Strategic Gateway for a Growing Market
As Russia continues to invest in aquaculture development and self-sufficiency strategies, the demand for international expertise, turnkey solutions, and innovative suppliers is higher than ever. AQUA FARM GLOBAL offers:
Seafood Expo Russia 2025 will be held in St. Petersburg, with AQUA FARM GLOBAL serving as an international hub for technology, knowledge sharing, and business development.
For Turkish and global companies, the timing and platform have never been better.
