July 13, 2010 11:43
In the third quarter of 2010 Russia's import of HGT hake and hake fillets showed positive trends as compared to the same period of 2009, analysts of http://www.megafishnet.com/ (https://www.fishnet.ru/) concluded after analyzing the Russia's Customs statistics.

The below overview prepared by FISHNET analysts covers the following subjects:

  • list of main importers
  • countries of origin
  • import volume
  • import value
  • average import prices

After analyzing the statistics on Russian squid imports analysts of FISHNET Ltd came to conclusion that the bulk of hake products were imported to Russia under the following HSCs (harmonized system codes): for HGT hake - 0303781100, 0303781200, 0303781300, 0303781900, 0303789000 and 0303798500, for hake fillets - 0304994800, 0304295800, 0304295600 and 0304295500.

1st quarter of 2010

Import of frozen HGT hake to Russia in the first quarter 2010 amounted to 2543 tonnes, 1867 tonnes up on the same period of 2009.

The reason behind the rise was a considerable rise of shipments of HGT hake from Uruguay from zero to 1445 tonnes, Canada from 491 tonnes to 945 tonnes, Argentina from 108 tonnes to 170 tonnes. However, import from the USA in the first quarter of 2010 declined from 1080 tonnes to 120 tonnes and that from Ecuador from 108 tonnes to zero.

The average import price of HGT hake in the 1st quarter of the year amounted to RUR55.21 per kilo, which was below RUR68.57 per kilo in the same period of 2009.

Note: The net weight figures given in the table also include volumes of Russian shipments from beyond 12-mile zone which are subject to mandatory customs clearance and therefore taken as imports.

The main reason behind the fall of HGT hake import volume in 2009 was a decline of imports from Canada from 8567 tonnes in 2008 to 4509 tonnes in 2009. Import from Ecuador dramatically declined from 1372 tonnes in 2008 to 230 tonnes in 2009. Argentinean shipments also descended from 1281 tonnes in 2008 to 481 tonnes in 2009. Import from the USA practically unchanged and amounted to 7400 tonnes versus 7534 tonnes in 2008.

There was a dramatic increase of HGT hake imports from Uruguay from 261 tonnes in 2008 to 1050 tonnes in 2009.

The main reason behind such a strong rise of import volumes was a jump of shipments of hake fillets from China from 100 tonnes in 2008 to 2796 tonnes in 2009. Import of fillets from Uruguay also increased dramatically from zero in 2008 to 969 tonnes in 2009, as well as from Peru - to 97 tonnes. In the meantime, import from Argentina sank from 2819 tonnes in 2008 to 978 tonnes in 2009.
