Expert Predictions

Us noted that even with the stabilization of the currency exchange rate, food prices may decrease slightly, but the rise in fuel prices will still affect the cost of bread in Ukraine.
'Regarding the internal situation in Ukraine, we understand that our wheat, our production capacities for flour - these are ours. It is clear that the fuel factor affects. The rise in fuel prices may drive the increase in bread prices. Therefore, this price increase will happen, but it will not be significantly felt'
