As reported by “NBN”, citing a material from Radio Liberty, since the beginning of the war, prices for certain products in Ukraine have increased, on average, almost 2 times – by 44 percent.
According to expert economist Oleg Pendzin, the above-described dynamics are explained simply – the current year was a poor harvest, and the small volume of harvested agricultural products, in general, influenced the change in prices on the upside.
In particular, the analyst emphasized – farmers dug up 30 percent less than potatoes, and, accordingly, this root vegetable “went up”. Also, 70 percent of the cost of eggs is the cost of purchasing feed and corn, of which minus 10 million tons were collected, and, “this could not but affect the cost.”
In addition, the key factor that provoked such a record rise in prices is the offensive of the “second army of the world” and large-scale shelling, due to which the area of land that domestic farms can cultivate has decreased.
Earlier, we wrote about the fact that analysts showed how much the population of Ukraine owed on microloans.
