In 2015 the company's broodstock reached 800 tons, and the annual production of black caviar was 25 thousand kilograms, which corresponded to more than 70% of legal supplies to the Russian market.
The caviar was exported as a delicacy to France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Greece and the United States. At one point, it was more expensive than the Russian or Iranian caviar. In the 1980s it had a price of $900 per kilogram, or double compared to the Iranian caviar which was considered the closest to the Kladovo caviar in terms of quality.
