Exports of Iranian shrimp to Russia increased 3.5 times from March 21 to December 3, a substantial increase compared to the same period last year, the Iranian fisheries organization said.

Iran caught more than 3,000 tons of shrimp during this year's harvest, more than double the previous year.

South Korea's vice agriculture minister also said that South Korea's shrimp exports to Russia have more than tripled since the beginning of this year (March 21).
