Soja de Portugal is in talks with the Russian Ministry of Agriculture to open a fish feed factory in Karelia after the coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

The Minister of Agriculture of the Republic, Vladimir Labinov, announced at a government meeting on the socio-economic development of the Kondopoga region. Labinov said that the Portuguese company was about to start the project last year, but the closure of the borders due to the COVID-19 pandemic put the project on hold. According to the minister, Soja de Portugal will produce fishmeal from fish processing waste and is included in the register of feed suppliers in the Russian Federation.
