In Russia, the meat of bird and eggs rose in price. Over the past 60 days, prices for these products have risen more than ten percent. This is reported to “Izvestia” with reference to the deputy head of the Ministry of Agriculture Oksana Lut.
Deputy minister warned that such a speaker gives the government the right to establish utmost retail prices for this product.
The press service of Rosstat reported that on April 12, the cost of chicken meat in retail increased from the beginning of the year by 14.6 percent and amounted to 165.7 rubles per kilogram, and chicken eggs – by 11.6 percent, to 85 rubles for a dozen.
At the same time, the selling prices of manufacturers on the meat of chicken began to decline as a whole in the country, the head of the National Union of Poultry farm Sergey Lakhtyukhov said. This trend is fixed by the company for the last three or four weeks – the demand for products in retail chains began to decline during the Great Post.
Earlier, the government extended agreements to contain prices for products. For sugar, they act until June 1, for oil – until October 1 of this year. This happened against the background of the cost of goods.
In March, it became known that the authorities prepared to control prices still on eggs and poultry meat. In mid-February, Izvestia wrote that the poultry farms offered retailing networks to raise the cost of these products by 10 percent.
