“In January there was an increase in bread prices. Last year, with inflation at 13,7% (and an average increase in food prices of 17%), bread increased by 22%. Only for January (2018), according to estimates of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, wheat bread made from premium flour increased by 3,4%, wheat bread from first-grade flour - by 2,9%, wheat-rye bread - by 3,2%. In one month. This is serious.
If Ukrainians eat meat and fish significantly less than rational norms, then we eat 20% more bread than rational norms. The poorer people are, the more bread and potatoes they eat.
The main product of Ukrainians, bread, grew by almost 3,4% per month. This is a very big indicator. It is significantly higher than last year,” the expert said.
