Red caviar prices in Russia increased by 5.4% in November, with the rate of increase slowing down from previous months, according to Rosstat. The price increase is attributed to a significant decrease in salmon catch this year, with the catch amounting to 235.5 thousand tons by December 3, compared to 608.1 thousand tons in 2023. Red caviar production is forecast at 10-11 thousand tons this year, a significant decrease from the previous year. The market is gradually normalizing, and there are no forecasts for sharp price increases next year. Prices for chilled and frozen gutted salmon fish increased by 3.3%, and prices for frozen whole salmon increased by 3.2%.
