Russia Pacific Salmon Catch Collapse Drives Wholesale Prices Up Nearly 2x

A poor Pacific salmon season in Russia has cut supply, nearly doubling wholesale humpback and chum salmon prices by end-September versus a year earlier, per the CBR's Regional Economy report. The shortage is hitting domestic red fish and caviar markets, with price gains accelerating versus H1. This signals localized food inflation pressure in Russia, though broader macro impact is limited.
