The China-Japan Seafood War Could Have an Unlikely Winner: Russia

Amid China’s ban on Japanese seafood imports due to concerns over treated radioactive water, Russia sees an opportunity to increase its seafood exports to the Chinese market. Russia, already a major supplier of marine products to China, aims to capitalize on the ban and expand its certified companies and product volume. As Russia faces international sanctions, the food sector remains relatively unaffected, and its seafood exports to China could further grow, especially as concerns over Japanese seafood safety emerge in neighboring countries like South Korea and Japan.
