The king of inflation changes the throne again: why is everything but gasoline so expensive? Rosstat for the first time since mid-August deflation was recorded - tiny, 0.04% per week, gasoline decreased by 2%, but vegetables rose in price: cucumbers - more than 6%, tomatoes - about 4%. Chicken since the beginning of the year, along with beef in the growth leaders (+17% and +11% respectively). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke about these trends before the entrepreneurs themselves. Farmer Alexey Zhdanov from the Rostov region wonders: why are meat and poultry more expensive? The feed base is cheap, wheat is purchased for 6-7 rubles - half less than last year, the purchase price of beef from the producer fell. The reason why he calls the desire to gain profits according to. The shwarma seller from Yekaterinburg notes another trend: the seasonal growth of vegetables this year was shorter than usual. In general, in October and early November, cucumbers and tomatoes are still relatively cheap, but now prices have risen faster. There are many explanations: the increase in fuel prices (now they are getting worse, but the summer meltdown is already taking a toll), the recent increase in dishes, the ground vegetable season is over, and greenhouses have become more expensive due to electricity prices. Andrey Lansenkov, a farmer near Moscow, explains this by rising fuel prices, an increase in communal housing, labor shortages and external factors - while the farmers themselves are no longer profiting, as logistics, fuel, spare parts and labor have risen in price. Every year there is an "inflation king" - buckwheat, milk, eggs, potatoes, cucumbers last winter. The media writes about them, the antimonopoly authorities promise to understand them, but time will tell. That is, the season. Cucumbers, although they are more expensive, since the beginning of the year they are almost 40% cheaper. As noted by economist Oleg Belimishev, such products occupy too little place in the inflation basket to affect the overall index: gasoline is 5% of the basket, despite its importance, vegetables are even less. Another subtle trend is the reduction of catering: points in the country became 8% less.
