Fish straws under the trademark “Yamalka” and fish sausage soon will appear in shops

The Salekhard fish processing plant creates a logistics center for acceptance, briquetting, shock freezing and storage of fish. According to the director general of the enterprise Denis Malyshev, appearing of such center will reduce costs of regional fish processing enterprises, will provide employment of rural population, including among indigenous peoples of the North, will increase financial stability of enterprises of the fishing branch of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. It will assist to development of the entire agro-industrial complex of the region and will ensure food independence of the territory.

Also in the coming years the plant is going to establish production of fish straws — snacks, which will soon appear in shops of the region under the trademark “Yamalka”. In addition, the company resumes production of fish sausage. Such expansion of the range of products made of ordinary and cod species of fish will please both Yamal consumers and residents of other Russian regions.

In the near future the fish processors will launch a workshop for waste-free production of fish flour.

Access to markets of near and far Asian countries is another area of work of the plant. Now such work is actively fulfilled by the Salekhard fish processing plant together with the department of agro-industrial complex of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, which assists the company in advancement of its products. In the future it is planned to open the access to markets of the European Union.

As we should note, the plans of the company are very ambitious. In spite of certain problems connected with significant reduction in quotas for fish catching by brigades and other economic risks, the plant plans to reach the Soviet level and to increase production of canned products from 3 million to 4.5 million cans per year.
