Russian President Vladimir Putin noted the success of the Vologda Oblast in the production of black caviar during a meeting with the head of the region, Oleg Kuvshinnikov.

After Putin listened to a report on achievements in the field of agriculture, the president asked the question: “Do you take the first place in the production of black caviar?”

“Our “Russian Caviar House” is just the Vologda black caviar, which is produced on the ponds of the Cherepovetskaya State District Power Plant. Yes, the first place”– Kuvshinnikov noted to the president.

The head of state noted that it was great.

The Vologda Oblast is the largest producer of black caviar. Finished products are also exported, and are also used for in-flight meals for pilots of the International Space Station. Three enterprises are engaged in the production of black caviar in the region. According to data from open sources, 18.08 tons of sturgeon caviar were received in the Vologda region last year.
