Germany buys more Russian cod fillets
Germany has been boosting its purchases of Russian cod fillets despite a general trend of falling imports from other foreign countries.
More specifically, according to Globefish, in January-November 2006 Germany imported 2200 tonnes of Russian cod fillets, 47% on 1500 tonnes purchased from Russian suppliers in the same period 2005.
This trend is certainly helped by the growing number of filleter trawlers operated by whitefish quota holders based in Murmansk-led North Basin.
