The Crimean Bridge did not help reduce food prices: Sevastopol breaks anti-records
The opening of the Crimean Bridge did not lead to a drop in prices on the peninsula, because wholesale suppliers from the mainland, having saved on the crossing, did not change their pricing policy, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The newspaper “Krymskaya Pravda” writes about this today.
“Prices may become lower if the development of retail chains begins in Crimea. But for now this is impossible, since due to sanctions such networks as Pyaterochka or Magnit do not come to us. When Crimeans find themselves in these stores on the mainland, they almost cry at the counters. Almost everything costs 20-80 rubles cheaper,” the publication writes.
At the same time, prices in Sevastopol are even higher than the average Crimean ones.
“The notorious logistics cannot explain the high prices in Sevastopol. The cities are separated by about 80 kilometers, roughly speaking, this is 1000 rubles there and back. But at the same time, it seems that the trucks travel to Sevastopol on gold instead of gasoline.
For example, an ordinary chocolate bar in a Hero City store can cost 130 rubles, but the exact same one in Auchan in Simferopol costs 100. Mysticism!” writes Crimean Pravda.
