This autumn, Russians need to be prepared for rising prices not only on imported goods, but also on many domestic goods. According to experts, at least within the framework of inflation, the prices of meat, fish, sugar, vegetables, fruits, bread and even baby food will increase. This has been reported Hit the lining.
The reasons lie not only in the weakening of the ruble, but also in logistics problems, personnel shortages in agriculture, as well as an increase in the recycling fee.
Therefore, prices of imported fruits, including dates and tangerines, will increase due to expensive fuel. Fish prices will also increase; Because of China’s refusal to buy fish in Japan after the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, all of the fish caught in the Far East could be exported to China, which would reduce the supply in Russia.
Meat prices increase labor problems in the livestock sector. Due to the shortage of workers, farmers are forced to reduce the number of animals. This leads to higher prices even for the relatively inexpensive pork and chicken.
In addition, grain prices may increase due to the increase in usage fees. Experts predict an increase of 7-10 percent in flour and therefore bread prices. In addition, the cost of sugar could increase by 10 percent due to global price increases. As a result, the price of pastries and other sweets will increase.
It is possible that baby food prices will increase by 10 percent due to the weakening of the ruble and the increase in world raw material prices. But in general, the situation is not critical – Russia supplies the main products on its own.
There will be 10-15 percent price increase in imported fruit, tea, coffee and confectionery. The price of exotic fruits may increase even more. However, there will not be a huge price increase; There is no major reason for this.
If the ruble strengthens to the level of 75-80 per dollar, prices may decrease. Traditionally, seasonal vegetables (tomatoes and cucumbers) will increase in price during the winter months. But their cost will vary greatly depending on the variety and origin.
