With the introduction of the food embargo from Moscow has sharply increased the demand for Norwegian salmon in Belarus showed the largest suppliers of fish Norway, reports the newspaper Metro with reference to Dagens Naeringsliv.

The fish imports to Belarus from Norway has increased three times, and experts believe that this is due to the re-export by the Norwegian production in Russia. Fish comes to the factories of Belarus, there is already processed and legally appear on the shelves of Russian stores, as Belarusian products. Also, according to statistics, increased shipments of salmon in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.

The Minister of agriculture of Norway Elizabeth Blaker that Russia repeats the Chinese way. China does not supply the Norwegian fish directly, but the products from Norway arrives there through neighboring countries.

The expert from the Russian Fishing Union believes that this trend will have a negative impact on the domestic industry, as the Russian refiners will not be able to win a place for their products on the shelves.
