With this proposal the government has requested the Ministry of agriculture. The goal is the same as in the case of fur products — to remove from the market all illegal products. And in the next stage the tag may receive and caviar.

The idea belongs to the Agency, it was first announced two years ago, writes rg.ru. However, this project was suspended because we had to wait for a General solution of the Eurasian economic Union on the labelling of goods. Returned to the idea after a successful start of the "fur" project last fall. The Agency has announced that there is a discussion of the appearance of the "fish" mark.

Imagination paints sturgeon sewn under the skin chip, which is easy to break a tooth while eating. But experts claim that consumers hardly something to notice. Chipping sturgeon using electronic tagging is a common thing

The chips used to identify animals grown in aquaculture. Their fish is implanted with a syringe in the head. With high probability, the necessary information will simply be added to existing labels.

Because chipped eggs is impossible, labelling will apply directly to Bank products. For fur coats, for example, three different kinds of chips and glue, sewn and mounted. However, the official representative of the Agency Ksenia Timakova said that the chipping of the calf is likely to be similar to the process similar to the marking of alcohol in the framework of the Unified state automated information system. With the help of electronic media, you will figure out the origin of the goods, to trace the logistics and be confident that you legal product, not a "dish" from the poacher.

"Industrial fishing of sturgeons is prohibited in Russia since 2005, that is "wild" fish and caviar in our market formally. But during inspections of trade regularly found questionable sturgeon and black caviar. Such products are usually of poor quality and may be hazardous to health" — says the Executive Director of Fisheries Union Sergey Gudkov. Illegals bring down the price, jeopardizing the caviar and sturgeon aquaculture. The marking shall prevent illicit trafficking and to support legal producers.
 

However, consumers in this story are more concerned about how the marking will affect the final cost of products. In Rosrybolovstvo claim that the prices will not be. By analogy with the coats. The average price of a chip is 25 rubles. For products in several hundred thousand rubles unobtrusive. The same applies to black caviar, which costs upwards of 40 thousand rubles per kilogram. But for sturgeon, which are retail for 600-700 rubles per kilo, such a margin has been significant. As for the caviar! The price of the little jars from 250 rubles.
