The production of salmon caviar in Russia is expected to significantly increase by the end of the year, possibly resulting in a decrease in quality due to high catches and insufficient production capacity. This lower quality caviar may oxidize and ferment faster, putting pressure on traders to sell it quickly and potentially lowering the price. While high-quality caviar will still be available during the New Year holiday, the overall cost of caviar is expected to decrease after the holiday due to the large amount of caviar in the market.
