Russian Aquaculture PJSC is Russia's largest fish farming company.[2] It operates fish farms and markets in addition to chilled and frozen salmon and trout farmed on lakes in Karelia, and in the Barents and White Seas.[3][4]
History
[edit]The company was founded in 1997 as a reseller of Norwegian fish to Russia. Its previous name was "Russian Sea". In 2007, it commenced independent fish aquaculture and now operates in domestic and export markets.[5] In 2010, the company listed with an IPO on the Moscow Stock Exchange.
In 2013, the company divested its finished products unit.[6] In 2015, the Russian Sea changed its name to Russian Aquaculture.[7] The company sold its holding in the Russian Fish Company in 2016 to a group of investors, retaining its interests in salmon and trout aquaculture.[8] In July and October 2017, the company invested in hatcheries in Norway (Villa Smolt AS and Olden Oppdrettsanlegg AS).[9] In that year, the company also raised over RUB 1bn ($17M) through a secondary public offering (SPO) co-run by two Russian banks, Gazprombank and Otkritie.[10]
In 2018, the company invested RUB2.5 billion (US$40 million) in the construction of a new smolt production facility in Murmansk Oblast.[11]
In 2019, the company reported that their salmon production had grown by three times and that output reached 18 000 tonnes.[12]
As of 2020, the company owns farming licenses for 36 sites with a total potential for annual production of around 50,000 tonnes of salmonids per year.[13]
At the end of 2020, Russian Aquaculture was listed on the Top-10 list of the most effective Russian investing companies by the NKR credit rating agency.[14]
In March 2021, the company had successfully placed three-year bonds totaling EUR 33 million with an annual coupon rate of 9.5%.[15]
By the end of Q1 2021, the company reported increased production volumes, with sales totaling 7,800 tonnes. This represents a 28% increase compared to the same period in 2020.[16]
