An experiment to limit the export of salmon caviar weighing over 10 kg in carry-on or hand luggage by passengers on airplanes was launched at Kamchatka airport on November 1. The measure aims to reduce poaching of the delicacy, which reportedly results in the destruction of over 15 thousand tons of raw salmon, causing an annual damage to the state of over 15 billion rubles. The initial days of the experiment saw some issues with veterinary control, but these have since been resolved. The airport authorities have reported that the planes are now leaving on time, as there is no longer a need for long delays due to cargo processing and dispatch.
