Over the past two days the process for potatoes have risen sharply. The price per kilo one kilo increased from 80 kopecks to 1.20-1.40 kopecks. Retailers say they do not know the reasons for the increase in prices by wholesalers.
Probably the increase is due to the increased transportation costs because of the increase of expenses for transportation on December 3, and increased tariffs on gasoline and diesel fuel.
Observers believe that two factors have influenced the increase: the increase in gasoline prices , which automatically increases the cost of transportation, and the monopolization of vegetable imports. Only a certain group of people can bring all kinds of products, including potatoes; they are the same people who order "music" on market.
Experts predict great increase of prices in January 2014. -05B06-
