Supply of FAS Alaska Pollock to Agama will begin in December ready for the roll-out of the Agama-Nordeco brand in retailers during the first quarter.
Fedor Kirsanov, who replaced Andrey Teterkin as RFC’s chief executive this year, said: “We highly appreciate the experience and expertise of the Agama Group in the production and promotion of high-quality fish products. I am sure that the joint brand Agama-Nordeco will guarantee a consistently high quality of Alaska Pollock products.”
Headquartered in Moscow, RFC is reportedly Russia’s largest fishery with revenues of US$238m in 2016, according to its website. It primarily supplies Alaska Pollock and Pacific Herring. Agama is a frozen food supplier to the retail and foodservice channels.
Agama’s CEO Yuri Alasheev said the agreement has been formed as part of a “long-term” partnership.
