How the experiment will affect the cost of the delicacy .
In Russia, an experiment has begun on labeling caviar in the labeling system «Honest Sign». Experts estimate the share of illegal caviar at 20-30%.
Labeling will not affect the final prices for caviar either at the experimental stage or after it becomes mandatory, Chestny Znak reported. “Moreover, labeling can become a factor that will curb the rise in prices for caviar, as it has already happened in the dairy industry, and legal producers, after the introduction of labeling, will be able to increase market share and increase revenues, which will cover any possible costs,” they added.< /p>
According to the NIFI of the Ministry of Finance, the cost of labeling one package of caviar will not exceed 1.8 rubles. With an average price for salmon caviar of 5.5 thousand rubles per kg, the contribution of digital marking to the final cost of a can of caviar will be approximately equal to zero.
Business representatives have already supported the experiment. Labeling of red caviar can become another way to control the quality of goods at all stages, ”said Alexander Isaev, chief technologist of the fish industry of the Leningrad Region“ Rybstandart ”. “Labeling caviar products will reduce the amount of counterfeit products and improve the quality of caviar,” added Pavel Vilensky, General Director of Gurman-Guru.
