Sturgeon, often referred to as "dinosaur fish", first inhabited our planet,beginning their ancient biological journey.

Sturgeon have inhabited the Caspian Sea for over 5,000 years. Ancient roc carvings in Gobustan depict sturgeon, highlighting their long-standing presence in the region..

The Kura Production Experimental Sturgeon Breeding Farm, the first sturgeon breeding facility in the world, was established in Azerbaijan. The country soon became recognised as the cradle of sturgeon and caviar production.

After the collapse of the Soviet system, uncontrolled fishing led to a drastic decline in sturgeon populations, pushing the species
to the brink of extinction.

Established in 2017, LU-MON Holding LLC is a leading investment company based in Azerbaijan, specialising in the strategic development and execution of large-scale projects in agriculture, aquaculture, and food production. Azerbaijan Fish Farm LLC, a
subsidiary of LU-MUN Holding, is a leading sturgeon breeding and caviar production company.

Azerbaijan Fish Farm has privatized and reconstructed the Kura Production Experimental Sturgeon Breeding Farm, where the production of Baku Caviar has commenced. From the beginning, our mission has been to restore and protect wild sturgeon populations.
