Russian retailers opposed the inclusion of grain products such as breakfast cereals, bran and baking mixes in the state information system “Grain”. The newspaper reports this “News”..
According to them, this will lead to a significant increase in product prices and additional costs for the business.
As a source at one of the largest retail chains said, it would be easier and cheaper for companies to completely remove products in this category from store shelves rather than commit to the new system.
According to estimates from online stores, the cost of integration with FSIS “Grain” in the next three years can reach about 12 billion rubles. These funds will be used to hire additional data entry staff and interconnect logistics infrastructure.
Meanwhile, State Duma deputies have already prepared a bill that would exclude retail and wholesale trade from the “Grain” system. According to the author of the amendments, Vladimir Gutenev, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Industry and Trade, only producers and exporters of grain products should report.
The Department of Agriculture believes that data transfer to FSIS can be automated. However, businesses are wary of the additional costs of system integration.
Retailers state that the share of finished grain products in their turnover does not exceed 1.5%. Therefore, refusal to sell such goods will not cause serious harm to the business.
