Uzbekistan received a 25 thousand ton fishing quota from Russia

Uzbekistan and Russia have agreed on fishing quotas for the current year. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan's fishing companies were allowed to catch 5 thousand tons of pollock and 20 thousand tons of flounder in the Russian economic zones of the Chukotka, Bering, Okhotsk, Japan Seas, and the Pacific Ocean. This will significantly help increase the supply volume of new and high-quality fish products to the Uzbekistan market.
