Russian firm to produce caviar in Argentina
|
|
A Russian-owned company will begin production of caviar in the northwestern Argentine province of La Rioja, a spokesman for the regional government said.
Esturiones & Caviar SA signed a 15-year concession contract with the government of La Rioja. It will operate the fish farming plant in the town of Anillaco, where sturgeon will be raised for their precious eggs - caviar.
This will be the second caviar production operation in Latin America, after the largest sturgeon farm in the world opened in Uruguay in 2007.
The company predicts that in eight years, after going through the proper preparation cycles, it will achieve an annual production of 10 tonnes of caviar, said a press release.
The Anillaco plant will begin operating within 15 days and that the sturgeon eggs will arrive from Russia in about a month.
The plant will also serve as a laboratory for the study of sturgeon, a species that is in danger of extinction, and the data gathered at the plant will be analysed by a Russian biological institute.
Ninety percent of the world sturgeon catch is made in the Caspian Sea, where fewer and fewer of the fish are being caught ever since it was put on the endangered species list. |

A star in newspaper reporting, the Argentina Star provides a complete coverage of Argentina news, bringing you breaking news, what's happening in local and global sports, and a host of other features.
From the capital, Buenos Aires, extending to all parts of the country, neighbouring countries and the general region, the Argentina Star covers it all. And it doesn't stop there.
Global news, finance, and business reports are provided and updated regularly. Whether it's local, regional or international, news, sports or business, there can be no more comprehensive a coverage than that provided by the online newspaper, Argentina Star. That is our objective, and we strive very hard to achieve it.
The task is not always easy, as obtaining news in this part of the world in English can be very time-consuming and frustrating. Virtually all newspapers that publish in the region, and Internet news services, for obvious reasons report in the local language.
The Argentina Star is a resource for local news and information, and provides live, and updating weather forecasts for Buenos Aires and other major cities in the country. There's also a news poll where readers can register their votes on topical issues making the news. |
