The average wholesale price of Atlantic herring in northwestern Russia reached 190 rubles per kg, which is 40.7% more than a year earlier, Kommersant writes. Market participants attribute the price increase to a 19.3% reduction in catch in the Western Basin and sanctions restrictions on the Russian fleet in the North Atlantic. Additional pressure on local prices is exerted by the increase in frozen herring exports, which increased by 19% during nine months, to 229 thousand tons.
