Sergei Lisovsky, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee for the Protection of Competition, warned that sunflower oil prices may increase due to rising prices for sunflower seeds in Russia. Growth will be small – around 2-3%, but other factors can also affect prices, registered He is in talks with NSN.
The cost of foreign selection sunflower seeds has increased by an average of 20-30%. The MP believes that this factor can only slightly affect the oil price. He emphasized that everything will depend on the harvest. Lisovsky believes that other factors may play a much more important role.
“Even if it has an effect, it will be 2-3 percent maximum. This will be a slight increase in price. “But at the same time, we must not forget that gas and energy prices will also increase, and this will lead to a much larger price increase than the increase in seed prices.”
The MP added that, in general, the increase in seed prices should not significantly affect the cost of products made from them. He showed bread as an example; A small increase in the cost of grain does not lead to an increase in the cost of bread. At the same time, if the price of grain falls, bread does not become cheaper.
“Accordingly, such a direct correlation does not exist,” the MP said.
