Russian Fishery Company (RFC) CEO Fedor Kirsanov and the Agama Group CEO Yuri Alasheev signed a long-term agreement on joint production of premium quality Alaska pollock ready meals.
Under the joint Agama-Nordeco brand (Nordeco is RFC’s retail brand) 100-gramme portions of fillet and mince will be produced from RFC’s frozen-at-sea Alaska pollock. Production is also planned for individually packed Alaska pollock fillets. According to the agreement, RFC will supply FAS Alaska pollock fillet and mince blocks as well as shatterpack to Agama production facilities.
Agama will produce ready meal products without full defrosting during processing, which will ensure the preservation of the nutritional properties and pure taste of Alaska pollock.
“We highly value the experience and expertise of the Agama Group in the production and promotion of high-quality fish products,” commented Fyodor Kirsanov.
“I am sure that the Agama-Nordeco joint brand will guarantee a consistently high quality of Alaska pollock products.”
“Agama has always done and is doing everything to guarantee Russian consumers maximum quality fish and seafood, which is impossible without close integration with producers of raw materials,” said Yuri Alasheev.
“We believe, that long-term co-operation with such a stable and strategically-minded partner as the RFC will provide Russian consumers with a reliable supply of perfect Alaska pollock products.”
According to the contract, RFC will start supplying FAS Alaska pollock to the Agama Group as of December 2018. Products under the Agama-Nordeco brand will appear on supermarket shelves in the first quarter of 2019.
