Russia exports caviar into the EU again

Almost after a nine year break Russia exports caviar into the European Union again: the Russian fishery authorities allowed the export of 150 kilograms of black caviar. The initial volume is only regarded as symbolic, compared to the world's annual consumption of around 350 tonnes.

Russia in 2002, was concerned from the extinction of the specie and ordered a ban on fishing black caviar in the Caspian Sea and in the Volga region. With the current renovation of the sales, Russia promises more jobs in the fisheries sector. According to the datas of the “Gazeta Rosszijszkaja”, during the existence of the Soviet Union, one thousand tonne of black caviar was exported annually – reports piacesprofit.hu.
