The largest federal and regional retail chains in Russia will be able to limit the sale of a number of socially important goods to one person in order to combat speculators. This is reported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
“The largest federal and regional retail chains have decided to minimize the risks of acquiring socially significant food products by “dealers”, for which, under agreements with the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and the Federal Antimonopoly Service, a minimum mark-up has been established,” the report says.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture supported the initiative of trade organizations. The specific goods of the network will be determined by themselves.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade said that in some regions there were cases when such goods were purchased at a time in volumes of up to several tons for subsequent resale.
Messages about limiting the sale of goods to one person appeared against the backdrop of information, in particular, that retail chains at a meeting in the Ministry of Agriculture reported on the risks of a shortage of sugar on the shelves. It is reported by “Kommersant”. The participants of the meeting said that the reasons could be a decrease in the volume of supplies from sugar factories, and also related to the fact that for the second year in a row Russia produces less sugar than it needs. Also, the interlocutors of the publication announced speculation.
Earlier, the Ministry of Agriculture reported that key sugar producers in Russia fixed selling prices of 47 rubles. for 1 kg until July 31, 2022 inclusive.
