Tridge summary
Russia has become self-sufficient in salmon production, no longer needing to import it from Norway, according to Ilya Shestakov, the head of the Federal Agency for Fishery. This development comes after Russia imposed a food embargo on Norway in 2014, which has led to a doubling of the country's salmon production over the past 10 years.
