This season, Russian producers were prohibited from increasing prices for eggs in order to avoid the experience of last year, when there was an increase in the cost of this product and hype. Even if there is another increase in egg prices in the near future, it will be gradual. said Former Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation NSN, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor Leonid Kholod.
The expert believes that now manufacturers are starting to complain about rising costs, but they still have a “margin of safety”, so they will not be allowed to increase prices sharply.
“In this case, on the demand side of the market, you may encounter a scandal again… Three big factories announced that they want to increase prices, the bad example of this is contagious. Of course there is competition. But eggs are an important product,” the economist emphasized.
The real cost of the product increased by 8.1% this October compared to 2023. As for last year’s increase, prices rose rapidly due to the excitement created by Russians fearing that they would not have enough eggs for the New Year’s table. Kholod assured that such a situation will not happen this year.
