Supply from South Africa to Turkey and Morocco will ensure price stability and prevent the shortage of tangerines in the Russian Federation before the new year, but prices will not decrease “Arguments and Facts” Based on the opinion of Igor Karavaev, president of the Association of Retail Trade Companies (AKORT).
According to Karavaev, the situation can be stabilized by increasing the supply of tangerines from Turkey, Morocco, South Africa and Tunisia. However, due to expensive logistics and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there will be no significant decrease in price.
“At the end of 2022, the lower limit of prices for tangerines in retail chains of AKORT members was about 65-70 rubles per kg, now you can buy 1 kilogram of tangerines for 99 rubles,” Karavaev said.
Karavaev noted that the tangerine harvest in Abkhazia and Azerbaijan this year was lower than normal. Additionally, Rosselhoznadzor rejected fruit shipments from Türkiye and Iran. Tangerine prices fell by approximately 5% in July. However, the head of AKORT concluded that it was not worth waiting until the New Year. According to Rosstat, the price of a kilogram of tangerines has now exceeded the 200 ruble mark.
Before that, it was known that prices for tangerines in Russia increased by an average of 70% during the year.
