Russians were warned about the impending rise in price of popular delicacies

Retail prices for red fish and caviar in Russia are likely to increase in the foreseeable future due to unsuccessful fishing. This forecast was given by the executive director of Rusprodsoyuz Dmitry Vostrikov, his words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

The volumes of production of popular fish species this year turned out to be noticeably lower than predicted values, he noted. This factor will inevitably affect the supply and cost of delicacies. You will have to pay more for red fish and caviar, Vostrikov concluded.

The main reasons for the failed salmon run in Russia this year, the Governor of the Kamchatka Territory Vladimir Solodov named the negative impact of warming of the World Ocean and a change in fish migration routes.

Due to the low catch, Vostrikov added, production volumes on the domestic market may decline. This will lead to an adjustment in the final cost of red fish and caviar. Such factors will also affect demand, which in the current realities will most likely fall, he stated.
