Prices for dairy products in the Russian Federation may rise due to rising costs. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the information of the Ministry of Agriculture.
“Against the background of the continuing increase in costs for electricity, logistics, veterinary drugs, packaging and other components of the cost, there may be cases of revision of prices for individual items within the framework of the relationship between suppliers and retail chains,” the ministry said in a statement.
The Ministry of Agriculture believes that “the measures taken will generally ensure a stable price situation in the market for raw materials and finished dairy products,” so the ministry does not expect a sharp rise in prices in this segment in 2022.
Earlier, Kommersant reported that Danone had notified Russian retailers of a 9.9% average price increase for part of its range since February due to higher production costs.
Prior to this, it was reported that from February 1, 2022, dry and liquid cereals, drinks, bread and desserts in Russia could rise in price by 15.5%. According to media reports, the rise in prices was caused by an increase in prices for basic raw materials due to the crisis in cargo transportation, as well as a decrease in agricultural production.
