English Other Journalism
Dear Colleagues,

I find it difficult to understand the phrase "in a positive move for" in the text mentioned hereunder:

Now farming operations by the likes of CH&P – farming out of Bordeaux – or new CO2-neutral brand Zwyer – from Switzerland and farming in Montevideo – together with increased ethical consumption and the recent embrace of farmed caviar by leading chefs, is turning the tide. Caviar aquaculture is becoming an increasingly popular business model not only in Uruguay but Spain, California, China, the UAE and, in a positive move for the Caspian Sea, Iran.

Would you kindly help rephrase it for me, so that I could be able to translate it into Arabic.

Kindest regards and thanks so much in advance..

and Iran, whose entry in the sector will benefit the entire Caspian Sea region*

*I would separate some of these sentences to make it easier to translate. You could separate the part about Iran, for example. "Iran has also entered the market, which will be positive/provide and example for the entire Caspian Sea region." I think the author wants to indicate that if Iran enters the market, this "move" will pave the way for other regions in the region to develop caviar aquaculture industries too.

You're welcome. This was a very long sentence (that could have been written more clearly).

Thanks, katsy. We must all up our rates so that we can enjoy some of this caviar! (One can dream...)
agree Jack Doughty : We can only up our rates if our clients will pay more, and in the present situation, our prospects of eating caviar are on a level with those of the French workers who were advised by Marie Antoinette to eat cake!

Thanks, Jack. Do you agree on the interpretation, that we should up our rates and eat caviar, or both? So true...
agree Charles Davis : I agree with both // Thanks for the tip! My experience of caviar is extremely limited, I have to admit

Thanks, Charles. May we all have Persian caviar soon. (Remember no metal spoons, they destroy the flavor).
