Ministry of Agriculture commented on expected increase in mayonnaise prices

Increased Mayonnaise prices in the region of 5-12 percent is hardly possible, since the support of enterprises from the state will help them retain profitability. Thus, in the Ministry of Agriculture, the information was commented on the expected rise in price of sauces, TASS reports.

The press service of the department indicated that the customs tariff regulation of oil exports would reduce the cost of purchasing ingredients for mayonnaise and sauces. This, in turn, will provide a stable price level for this product.

Earlier, Kommersant reported that the reason for the rapid rise in price of mayonnaise and other sauces will be the increase in the cost of oil, as well as packaging and fuel. If not raising prices, indicate enterprises, production will affect losses.

At the end of last year, due to the sharp rise in prices for sugar and sunflower oil, the government was engaged in price regulation in stores. Relevant agreements were signed with trading networks and manufacturers.

It was assumed that it would be assumed to hold prices only until April, after which the situation was resolved by itself. However, in March, the agreements for sugar were extended for two months, and for sunflower oil – for half a year.

This week it became known that the government will allocate nine billion rubles to support manufacturers of sugar and sunflower oil.
