CrimeaPRESS reports:
And we are also thinking about the pre-New Year rise in food prices in general.
Today I am touching on a very sensitive and important topic for a large number of residents — the cost of chicken eggs, chicken meat and other agricultural productswrote yesterday in his Telegram channel Minister of Agriculture of Crimea Andrey Savchuk.
The minister not only touched on the topic, but also illustrated it with a photo. Namely, the price tags for a dozen eggs are 100 rubles.
Lately there have been a lot of falsehoods and hoaxes about the “astronomical” prices for these types of products. Today, together with the Deputy Minister of Industrial Policy of Crimea, Irina Mezavtsova, we were in one of the large stores of a large retail chain. We looked at the cost. I personally saw chicken eggs for 100 rubles per dozen. Attaching photo. These are pullet eggs, category C2. Of course, there are also more expensive ones — the elite category, the highest class — C1. They are a little larger. And the packaging is more serious, which also costs money— said Andrey Savchuk.
About packaging — yes… It’s just business know-how, when the product costs almost less than the “wrapper” (juices, milk — not the strangest example, by the way).
And the eggs… Somehow unconvincing. Actually, who would pay 100 rubles for the second grade — “space”, especially considering that such a product did not cost more than 60-70 rubles not more than a couple of months ago.
This is the first time we have heard about “elite” chicken eggs. The usual “first class” is now “elite” in the country? Although… everything is like in life…
The fact that the retail chain (photo from a large supermarket confirms this) has reduced the trade markup — well done, of course. For it is precisely this (surcharge), coupled with logistics costs and objective reasons for the “natural decline” in the number of poultry farms (not only in Crimea, throughout the country) that is the reason for the “cosmic rise in prices” for eggs. We almost forgot about the main reason — benefit. Without profit, who can produce, trade, work, insert the correct verb will? And His Majesty pays for everything in the finale»end-user». A sucker who is not a mammoth, well, that is, we are all sinners. And explaining to him all the intricacies about the benefits in the “chain”… is not at all necessary.
It’s true, it’s a pity that the ministerial post doesn’t say a word about how the price is formed, about what measures, other than an agreement (probably) with one of the retail chains, are being taken in the region… But there is a time-tested one:
Therefore, I ask you not to create panic, to trust only verified information.
So no one pushes you, you just come to the store and understand that your salary and prices in the market are from different dimensions. The salary is from the past (like 3-4 years ago), and the prices… are probably from the “bright future” (the one in which everyone has an average income of about one hundred thousand a month).
Well, objectively. We don’t know how the Crimean ministries “knock down” prices in stores, but the federal authorities did come to the rescue. It’s late, but measures have been taken. The supply of chicken eggs from Azerbaijan and Turkey, which will begin in the near future, will help stabilize domestic Russian prices for this type of product within a month, the country’s Ministry of Agriculture said. To saturate the market, customs duties on eggs had to be zeroed out — and voila — it became profitable for importers to bring them to Russia.
But… there are concerns related to the chain of passage of goods from importer to consumer (wholesalers-retailers-storage-logistics-trade-retail). At each stage, at least a penny will be added to the price. Alas, of all the rules of a market economy, we have learned only “product-money-product”, “demand creates supply” and the thesis about “added value”. And it seems that “our partners” even laugh at us. The head of the Turkish Union of Egg Producers, Ibrahim Afyon, promised to provide Russia with supplies of eggs “in full.” That is, we admit that a great country cannot provide itself with eggs, God forgive me. And what’s next in line for the New Year’s price increase? Meat? Cucumbers? Citrus? Chocolate? Cheese?
PySy. The author of this moderately caustic opus, for example, rarely eats chicken eggs at all. This is how it happened historically. But the problem is, he loves tangerines. More recently, they have reappeared on the shelves of markets and shops. And even 100-120 rubles per kilo (almost the same as last year!). But a week passed and the fruit “from Abkhazia, I swear by my mother” for some reason costs 180-200 for the same kilo. Uhh? — Demand has increased, dear! It’s citrus season, you know? People take, and they take 200, and they take 300. New Year is a holiday! Eh, what a benefit… The sucker is not a mammoth, he will pay…
