In 2024, Russia experienced a significant decrease in red fish productivity, resulting in a catch that was only a third of the 2023 catch at 130 thousand tons. This decrease has led to a price imbalance in the market, as the majority of the catch is being redirected to meet the growing demand for caviar consumption within the country. As a result, other fish products, including red caviar, have seen a increase in price. However, it is anticipated that caviar prices will see a decrease of 6-8% after the New Year holidays.
