Bars have found billiard tables to be strong revenue earners. U.S. billiard table and accessory companies may find opportunities in this market. Ice fishing on rivers, lakes, and the gulfs is popular with Russians in Primorye, and hundreds of fishermen can be seen as far as 1-2 kilometers out on the frozen ice during the winter. Available winter fishing equipment is mainly of Japanese, German and Russian production, and emphasis is placed on low cost over high quality equipment. Primorye has 6 yacht clubs and hundreds of sailboats and motorboats, and there is interest in unique U.S.-produced goods and navigation equipment such as sonic depth finders and radar for private vessels.
Owners tend to source their navigation equipment and accessories through direct order.
The market is rather small but developing. Customer awareness of U.S. sports nutrition products is low because these products are not heavily promoted in the market. The site contains information on various aspects of Primorye's sporting events and related companies. According to the local newspaper Vladivostok, this June construction of the first covered ice stadium in Vladivostok will begin. The Russian company Magnitogorskaya Stal plans to complete the project in 3-4 months.
