May holidays are already literally knocking on the doors of Russians, and with them the weekend, which inevitably entails gastronomic outings on nature.
Given the impending high demand among Russian consumers for the main attributes of the festive May diet - vegetables, fruits, meat and alcohol, employees of the Federal Antimonopoly Service monitored the market, talked with manufacturers and came to the conclusion that Russians should be prepared for a significant rise in price of “barbecue set” ".
According to Irina Epifanova, who replaces the head of the Office of Control of the Agro-Industrial Complex of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, meat will begin to rise in price literally today. It is sad to talk about this, but the period of high prices for meat products will continue throughout the summer season.
Regarding the market value of fruits and vegetables. Here and here, I am sure Epifanova, it is worth preparing for more significant expenses than just a few days ago. However, price increases for this category of goods are a common situation on the pre-holiday market, and one should not worry about the high cost of fruits and vegetables for a long period.
As for alcohol, its cost on Russian trading floors will not increase.
