The main set of social products continues to add to the price. As of July 2018, the food basket, which contains kilograms of various vegetables and meat, sugar, flour, bread, pasta, cereals, butter and dairy products, cost Ukrainians an average of 1021 UAH. This is 19% more than in July last year, experts of the Economic Discussion Club have calculated, agroday.com.ua reported.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine registered the bill №8569 on the restoration of state regulation of prices for socially important food products. This is reported by the website of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, agropolit.com reported.
September was the month of a significant rise in price of meat and eggs, and in just a month more than 65% of the so-called social food products became more expensive.
Unfortunately, for ordinary Ukrainians, the beginning of this autumn was marked by another increase in prices for most socially important food products. The rise in price will continue.
