In Russia, bread can take it seriously

Krasnoyarsk large manufacturers of Yarhleb and Dikhleb bread warned retail chains about increasing bread prices and bakery products by about 8-12%. It is reported by Kommersant with reference to letters of bakery.

Evgeny Demidov, Executive Director of Dichleb, called the main reason for the rise in price of bread rising prices for grain. The letter of the enterprise also indicates the unprofitability of the production of a number of bakery products.

Yarhleb explained that an increase in bread prices is necessary due to the rise in price of flour, gasoline, packaging and food ingredients, as well as ruble devaluation, increasing the minimum wage by 20% and increasing taxes.

According to the source in the market, manufacturers are negotiating on increasing bread prices with all large networks.

Dmitry Vostrikov, Executive Director of Rusprodsoyuz, said that such negotiations have been underway since August 2018. According to Vostrikov, now the wheat flour of the highest grade costs 17.3 thousand rubles. per ton, and in 2017 it cost 13.8 thousand rubles. per ton.

The flour of the first grade went up for the year by 26.92%, and rye pendant flour - by 27.5%.

At the same time, the president of the Russian guild of bakers and confectioners, Yuri Katsnelson, expressed confidence that in Russia there is no mass rise in price of bread, since there are no prerequisites for this.
