An unpleasant surprise cook bakers Russians. A number of enterprises have already set new price lists for products supplied to retail chains.. In particular, the largest Krasnoyarsk manufacturers - Yarhleb LLC and Dikhleb LLC - warned of an increase in the selling price of 8-12% for the entire range. And if in Dikhleb, the rise in prices for grain was dryly substantiated, then the management of Yarkhleb added an increase in the staff’s salaries, the rising cost of gas, packaging, tax deductions, and even the devaluation of the ruble, Kommersant writes.. In Volgodonsk, bread from October 1 has risen in price by 10%. But most manufacturers plan to do it from November 1. The statements of the Ministry of Agriculture that the wheat harvest permits to reduce grain prices from year to year, by and large, do not contradict the situation.

According to the Deputy Director General of the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies Irina Glazunova, flour makes up only 20% of the cost of bread. That is, in fact, the price of bakery products is limited only by the imagination and conscience of the manufacturer..

The authorities have the only opportunity to influence the situation - to negotiate with producers about the supply of so-called "social" varieties of bread and to keep prices on them, including through subsidizing. How tasty these loaves and loaves are is another question.. But Russians have a way out - you can give up bread and go on a healthy diet: eat more vegetables. They are just now getting cheaper: cucumbers by 4% compared with October 2017. , tomatoes - by 8%, carrots - by 10%, cabbage - by 2%, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta. However, the decline is seasonal - soon the prices for these products will crawl up again.. So you need to catch the moment.
