Karelia Bets on White Sea Resources Processing as Part of Russia’s New Bioeconomic Strategy

Russia has adopted a long-term strategy for the development of bioeconomy, calculated until 2036. For Karelia, this document became an incentive to strengthen positions in the field of agro-industrial and fishery sector. As reported in the relevant Ministry of the Republic, the region plans to actively develop knowledge-intensive production.

Local companies have already successfully mastered the processing of bioresources:

AquaFeed specializes in the creation of feed components for aquaculture.

"Nadvoitsk plant TDM" produces additives for livestock, using the unique properties of shungite and brown algae.

NPO “BIT” is engaged in deep processing of marine flora, producing dietary supplements and other goods on its basis.

The use of marine plant raw materials allows to create high-margin products and expand their application. In the near future - the launch of a partnership with the Research Center "Kurchatov Institute". The roadmap under development will help integrate advanced scientific research into the real sector of the economy. This will allow Karelia not only to use natural resources more efficiently, but also to become a center for introducing innovative domestic biotechnologies.
