Rosrybolovstvo did not rule out cheaper caviar and red fish for the New Year

In Russia, red caviar and red fish may become cheaper by the New Year. This was announced on October 22 by the head of Rosrybolovstvo Ilya Shestakov at the International Fisheries Forum.

At the same time, according to Shestakov, these products will be enough both for the domestic market and for export.

"There are enough red fish, and enough caviar for the domestic market, and partly for export," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The head of Rosrybolovstvo clarified that "the greater the supply, the lower the price," commenting on the question of how good food will affect the pricing of fish and caviar on the eve of the New Year holidays. He also expressed the hope that the situation with this category of products will develop within the market economy.
