    From SeafoodMedia on December 9, due to the poor catch of salmon fishing season, the production of red caviar in Russia has fallen sharply this year, resulting in an increase in the price of red caviar in
    the Russian domestic market.
     
    According to the latest data from the Russian Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography, the catch of Russian powder salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon and other salmon species barely exceeded 260,000 tons this year, twice as low as in 2021, directly leading to a decline in the country's red caviar production, which is now only 15,000 tons, compared to 20,000 tons in 2021
    .
     
    The decrease in salmon catches and the associated reduction in the production of red caviar has led to a significant increase in local market prices, which have reached about 6,000 rubles ($100)
    per kilogram.
     
    Currently, red caviar produced in Russia is mostly supplied to the domestic market
    .
    In 2022, some countries stopped importing caviar from Russia, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, however, this did not affect domestic producers in Russia, since exports of both red caviar and sturgeon caviar have been at a relatively low level, taking sturgeon caviar as an example, which last year exported only 1 kg
    to the United States.
