Restaurants in Russia pay more for domestic salmon than Chilean salmon. This was stated by the general director of the Inarktika group, Ilya Sosnov, in an interview with the publication. RBC.
Since Russia imposed a food embargo in 2014 that blocked the supply of fish from EU countries, Norway and Iceland, the most expensive salmon on the Russian market used to be supplied from the Faroe Islands, but now only Chile is the major import on the Russian market, Sosnov said continues to be among its suppliers.
“Currently Chile supplies approximately the same amount [что и раньше] – about 40-50 thousand tons. But Chilean fish comes frozen – in terms of consumer properties, ours is better because it comes chilled and not thawed. “Therefore, the market pays a premium for our fish compared to Chilean fish,” he said.
Before that, head of the fisheries information agency Alexander Savelyev statedIt is stated that people living in Russia consume half the amount of fish recommended by the Ministry of Health for health every year. He believes that this is because the cost is too high.
