One of them was the logistics costs of manufacturers. This is due to the rising cost of not only fuel, but also vehicle components. In addition, analysts note such a phenomenon as profit maximization techniques.
“Even the profit maximization technique needs to be marked up. Every year there should still be growth, there should be inflation , the cost of your products or services should increase. There is such a subtle factor when you mark it up by 4%, no one noticed. Then another 4%, again no one noticed. When you've already moved away, people start wondering what's going on. You take a step back and stabilize,” said Andrey Bryukhov , DIRECTOR of the marketing company Black Caviar.
As for food products, the cost of which may decrease, these are garlic, cucumbers and buckwheat, Perm industry experts note. Prices for these food products will decrease by 5-10%. This is due to a number of reasons. Among them: market saturation with these products, as well as demand for them. In addition, according to analysts, the price of bananas will also decrease.
“For bananas, it is surprising that the trend is towards lower prices , because global business is saying that there is a bad trend in diseases of the plants themselves. This makes it difficult to keep prices at a stable level,” shared Evgenia Kerzina, HEAD of the R&D Marketing.LAB laboratory.
In general, changes in food prices are also influenced by the fact that many goods are imported into the Perm region from other regions. This is due to the fact that they work well with agricultural producers, according to the farmers interviewed.
“They are given subsidies , they can vary prices. We don’t have that. We have several agricultural holdings that receive subsidies, so this food goes onto the conveyor belt. She has no soul,” said Denis Otinov, president of the Prikamsky Farmer Foundation.
Experts note that the cost of a number of products will not change. Among them: frozen fish and salted herring. In addition, prices for chicken MEAT may stabilize in the next 2 months . This is due to the zeroing of duties on imports of products, as well as their import from other countries, analysts summarize.
