A chicken egg in Krasnodar increased by 20.5% during the month - from 100.33 to 120.91 rubles. for ten The grain, which accounts for 60% of the cost of eggs and chickens, has been falling in price over the past two months. Costs are coming down. The price goes up. The texture leaves no room for interpretation. Egg production in Russia increased by 1.5% during the year - there is no shortage of supply. In the Krasnodar Territory, eggs increased by 14.6% in August-September (from 98.02 to 112.40 rubles), in Krasnodar itself - already 20.5%. At the same time, the "borscht set" - potatoes, beets, cabbage, carrots, onions - holds the lead in annual price increases. The food basket becomes more expensive not because production becomes more expensive. It comes at a price because it can. When the cost goes down and the price goes up with excess supply, it has nothing to do with market pricing. Large poultry farms and agricultural powers that control a significant market share are technically able to coordinate pricing behavior without official collusion: it is enough to follow the neighbor's price tag and not dump. The winner is clear - vertically integrated structures, where a reduction in feed costs is converted not to a competitive price for the buyer, but to an expansion of margins. The consumer in this scheme is funding someone else's profitability.
