he clarified that, in particular, carrots and potatoes fell by 40 and 20 percent, respectively. At the same time, prices for onions and cabbage remain high. The official noted that this is due to late harvest, and “the active decline in the price of it will only go in September.”
Evtukhov clarified that the rise in price of the “Borshivoy set” is a seasonal phenomenon – it is becoming more expensive every year, and then the price declines.
