In the United States, a deficiency of Ketchup occurred due to supply interruptions, writes Fox News. Packaging with this product began selling on an Internet auction.
ketchup became deficient and due to the fact that in the US, most restaurants moved to the format of “Food of the Sweatshirt”. Often, the order includes a package with ketchup. Against the background of the coronavirus pandemic, people continue to order food to the house, so the demand for Ketchup reached new heights. Also, there is not enough and packages for its packaging.
Pricing bags with ketchup at first soared by 13 percent, and soon the goods disappeared at all from the sale in ordinary stores. For example, on ebay 50 bags are sold for $ 9.99. Not only the tomato ketchup is used in demand, but also sauces of different brands, packaged in portion packaging. Heinz has stated that it has increased production capacity, but this was not enough.
Previously large Russian manufacturers of mayonnaise and sauces declared trade networks on improving holiday prices from April. Mayonnaise will rise in price by an average of 10 percent. The reason for this was the increase in the cost of oil (key component of mayonnaise), packaging and fuel.
In the Ministry of Agriculture, the rise in price is hardly possible, since the support of enterprises from the state will help them maintain profitability.
