The fact that the steadily growing in Russia

 Rising prices : look who benefits According to the annual survey of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation , food prices continue to rise. In this case not only becoming more expensive imported vegetables , fruits, fish and alcohol , but also Russian goods , often working with foreign raw materials. Experts attribute the rise in the cost of the consumer basket as a weakening of the ruble , and c dishonesty major retailers .According to research conducted by the working group on the OP RF agribusiness and food markets , the largest increase for 2013 showed the price of fresh potatoes - more than 65% . Eggs, which rose was in the beginning of last year , fell again , and the growth of their value was 10%. Causing concern among experts and so-called " set borsch " vegetables - the national average of the ingredients for this dish rose by almost 28 %. But still above last year the price has risen to dairy products - 29%.
 

" This is a very large burden on the pocket of the consumer. We support " Soyuzmoloko " and shaped structure , which is already half say that their industry suffered the most from Russia's WTO accession , and the need to create a government program to support the industry ," - says executive Secretary of the Working Group on Public Chamber APC Alexander Chernov.Moreover, he said, the state of the industry negatively affects the " unfair competition " when "a large number of counterfeit milk made ​​using imported fats, palm oil ." The expert believes that it is necessary to study the initiative to introduce a charge for the manufacturer to specify the composition of dairy products. "The growth of oil by almost 40% , an increase of 45% cheese , milk increase by more than 20 %. For this it is necessary to monitor closely ," - he added.Among the products , on the contrary , lost in price by the end of 2013 - the chicken ( became cheaper by 9%) and frozen pollock ( 7% ) . " The efforts of market regulators , large programs that have been taken by the State to achieve the stabilization of these industries produce results ," - said Chernov . Also , according to the study , the city with the highest cost of the food basket has traditionally been Khabarovsk ( 3600 rubles ) . Moscow - fourth in the list ( 3120 rubles ) ." We must remember that today 80 % increase in the production of broilers - a merit of high-tech Russian companies. Figures show that modern technology , modern way of agriculture - this is the real way to raise living standards . Exactly the same situation in the fishing industry : how only began to fight with the fact that Russian fishing vessels not calling at our port , shipped the goods for export, to restore order to the credit for the construction of fishing vessels processing , development of logistics and so on, then the situation has stabilized , " - says the research data member of the public Council under the Ministry of Economic Development Joseph Diskin . Significant rise in prices of potatoes , in his opinion , due to the fact that the bulk of its production - the result of small farmers. " There will be major producers - such a market will suck demand and creation of powerful agricultural groups. This fast fracture " - said the expert .He is also convinced that another reason for the rise in food prices - "heavily promoted inflation expectations ." " We understand the concern of the Ministry of Finance about difitsita Russian budget , we understand that a number of lobby groups would reduce the cost of growth of currency , but pay rubles CB attack on the ruble seems to me excessive. Past devaluation solved the problem of Russia's budget deficit , now the Ministry of Finance for the export of raw materials gets immeasurably more money. But clearly went too far and hyped inflation expectations , "- said Diskin . That is why , the expert said , for fear of farmers began to raise the price level for their products. Especially noticeable these actions were in industries where competition is very high, including the production of " borsch set .""We need an integrated responsible monetary policy the Ministry of Agriculture , which must seriously address the issue of rising prices - believes Diskin . - Should not be indifferent for what is happening , and to build a program of support for those groups where prices are rising ."Expert gives you an optimistic outlook about the state of food prices in the future. " Now begins the turn , stabilization of the ruble , and in accordance with this , a month and a half will decrease inflationary expectations. This will lead to lower prices a month later ," - he said.In turn, Member of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Andrew Tychinin sees the reason for a rise in price of products in excessive " appetite " retailers dominating the food market. MP gave official data showing that the volume of retail network in Russia is 35 % of the market .In addition, MP remembered last year's incident with the supermarket chain METRO, which was " caught " by the Federal Antimonopoly Service wrongfully high mark-up on goods . Representatives of the trade network , as reported by Andrew Tychinin , took interest from vendors for advertising in his magazine , exceeding sales and other nuances - a total of 45%. In this case, the MP assured , not one network to do so."When I say that the market is divided between major cities small networker , I can say that it's not so long ago . Situation has long been controlled by 7-11 networks that determine the pricing policy in a single city , the local market . Saying that prices are rising as a result of agricultural policy - is wrong. prices are rising because retailers expectations "- said Tychinin . Deal with this situation can only be introducing amendments to the law on trade - he said.Disagree with parliamentarian Joseph Diskin . In his view , the most effective measure of pressure on food network - the introduction of the law on the profit. " It is time to begin to introduce laws on excess profits , then it will stimulate retail and processors to invest in production," - he said.According to Alexander Chernov, in a situation where food market so unstable, it is important to help people with low incomes . ETA member offered to take over the U.S. experience in the implementation of food aid programs . " Citizens provide quasi , cards . Possible to come to a special store to pay this card and get cheap products . This money helps the poor man , help manufacturers , it accumulates very seriously," - he said. According to him, America spends on the program about $ 70 billion a year.However, due to the situation surrounding the annexation of Crimea means to implement such a program state to take nowhere, deputy Andrei Tychinin sure . By the way, the EU and U.S. sanctions against Russia , in his view , does not affect the food market , because the Western countries themselves extremely disadvantageous to refuse such a large market , as Russian . " All Western leaders refused to introduce severe economic sanctions , because it primarily hit their pocket. Germany 6 thousand companies deliver their high-tech products in Russia . This applies to almost all of Europe. They hit on their same supplier " - Tychinin said .Denis GoldmanSource : rosbalt.ru
