The Ministry of Agriculture denied earlier media reports that the prices of dumplings and sausages in Russia have increased by 20% since the beginning of 2023. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to a statement from the ministry.
As stated by the Ministry of Agriculture, sausage production in the country is increasing by 2.5% in 10 months this year. Production of semi-finished meat products, including manti, increased by 6.2%.
“Meat processors confirm plans to further increase production in line with increased consumption. “The Ministry of Agriculture supplies these products to the domestic market, their prices are fixed,” he said.
According to the Ministry, sausage and semi-finished product price dynamics are within the general inflation limits.
Expert Georgiy Ostapkovich from the Higher School of Economics at the end of November expressed Concerns about a possible increase in prices of buckwheat and butter in Russia. The director of the Market Research Center noted that following the increase in gasoline prices, products such as meat and eggs, buckwheat and butter may also become expensive. He emphasized that inflation trends create uncertainty for both consumers and entrepreneurs and make it difficult to develop a business plan.
