Alexey Polyakov: dairy products will rise in price by at least 6%
At the same time, the price of raw milk will not grow – it will only rise for the final product for the consumer, and the demand for it will fall.
"We forecast an increase in prices for finished products, if the trend towards the strengthening of the dollar continues. Basically, all the packaging and raw materials for it are bought abroad – so, the price increase is inevitable. Also, according to our data, there are no prerequisites for an increase in raw material prices - the price of the final product for the consumer will increase and the demand for it will fall. Now it is difficult to say what the exact picture will be by the end of the week, but according to our forecasts - a six percent increase is the minimum limit that will compensate for the increase in prices for packaging materials. This indicator is more or less painless for the consumer", Alexey Polyakov said.
Earlier, The DairyNews, citing data from the Dairy Intelligence Agency, reported an increase in the Dairy Index DIA by 0.85% compared to the level of last week and by 5.5% compared to March 2019. Now the index is 27.05 rubles/kg (excluding VAT, fat and protein content - 3.6% and 3.0% respectively)
