AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THE FACT THAT THE FAO (FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UN) FOR THE FIFTH MONTH IN A ROW INDICATES A GLOBAL INCREASE IN FOOD PRICES, AND THE RUBLE IS HITTING ANTI-RECORDS, MANY EXPERTS AND ORDINARY CITIZENS ARE THINKING ABOUT HOW FOOD PRICES IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION WILL CHANGE. AS A RULE, NEGATIVE EXPECTATIONS PREVAIL, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NEW YEAR AND SEASONAL PRICE INCREASES FOR A NUMBER OF GOODS ARE APPROACHING.
HOWEVER, LARGE RETAIL CHAINS AND THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE PROVIDE A FAVORABLE FORECAST. SO THE FORMER INTEND TO RESTRAIN THE RISE IN FOOD PRICES, AND THE LATTER NOTE THE SUCCESS OF DOMESTIC PRODUCERS.
THE ASSOCIATION OF RETAIL COMPANIES COMMENTS ON THE SITUATION IN THE FOOD MARKET OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: "TO PREVENT SHARP FLUCTUATIONS, FOCUSING ON THE DECLINING PURCHASING POWER OF THE POPULATION, RETAIL CHAINS ADHERE TO A POLICY OF CONTAINING PRICE INCREASES. IN THE CURRENT SITUATION, DESPITE THE SIGNIFICANT TRADE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COUNTERING THE SPREAD OF CORONAVIRUS INFECTION, ACORT MEMBER COMPANIES GUARANTEE THE CONTINUATION OF SUCH A PRACTICE AND DO NOT BELIEVE THAT UNTIL THE NEW YEAR PRICES WILL CHANGE ACCORDING TO A SCENARIO OTHER THAN LAST YEAR. "
THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE COMMENTS ON THE SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY'S FOOD MARKETS AS FOLLOWS: "REPRESENTATIVES OF THE REGIONS NOTED THAT THE SITUATION IN THE FOOD MARKETS OF RUSSIA IS STABLE, PRODUCTION VOLUMES ALLOW MEETING EXISTING DEMAND, AND THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT PRICE FLUCTUATIONS FOR BASIC FOOD PRODUCTS."
