In the first half of the year, purchases of sturgeon caviar in Russia increased by 9% compared to the same period in 2023, according to RBC, citing data from the resource “Check Index.”
Demand for this delicacy has risen by 6% since 2019.
There has also been an increase in the number of cans purchased, with their volume doubling.
Since May 1, 2024, Russia has begun labeling red and black caviar. As of April 25, over 19,000 participants in the supply chain have registered in the labeling system, including 83 producers and importers. More than 264,000 labeling codes have been issued across the country.
Rewaz Yusupov, Deputy General Director of the labeling system operator “Honest Sign” — the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT) — stated that even before the mandatory labeling was introduced, over 4,500 units of caviar products had entered circulation and are already available on the shelves of Russian stores.
