Food prices have changed dramatically: meat is getting more expensive while vegetables are falling.

According to inkorr.com: Oleg Penzin, a member of the economic discussion club, shared his thoughts on the fluctuations in food prices over the past year. He noted that vegetable prices have decreased by 15-18%, and the borscht set has become even more affordable.

'According to statistics from the State Statistics Service, vegetable prices have decreased by 15-18%, and the borscht set has become even cheaper,' Penzin emphasized.

At the same time, he pointed out that meat has risen in price by 25%, making it one of the most expensive products. Even the cost of eggs has increased more than in the case of meat due to a reduction in livestock and difficulties with labor in households.

Penzin also noted that, despite rising prices, the pace of this process has slowed compared to the previous year. He predicted that mass imports of potatoes will not take place this year due to a lack of domestic harvest.

Prospects for the Future

Experts believe that the first imported potatoes will appear on the market in April-May, when a new harvest from Egypt and Israel becomes available. We hope for a more stable situation with food prices this year. It was also emphasized that there are opportunities to purchase some goods at more favorable prices.
