After a brief lull products may become more expensive

In August, the index of food prices, which calculates the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), has reached its lowest level since June 2012.

But on the shelves of local products fall in price is unlikely , experts say "Rossiyskaya Gazeta » The main reason for the decline

Food Price Index , which calculates the monthly FAO steel grains and oilseeds . The price index for oils and fats falling since the beginning of the year , it is lower than it was in August of last year by 40 points. Another record for the reduction - grain, the index fell for the year by more than 50 points. The value of Russian grain usually follows trends in the overall global trend, but that does not mean that domestic prices follow the world mirrored - are influenced our weather conditions , and competition from imports is not. In addition, the share of the cost of the original product in the price of bread about 25 percent , so even if the fall in grain prices in the bakery price tags are unlikely to change , he said.

As for meat , then there seems to be little possibility of lower prices have been exhausted . " Pork fall until the end of April 2013 to 25-30 percent in wholesale prices. Such dynamics could not affect the value of poultry meat , and they also went down "- recalled the head of the executive committee of the National Meat Association Sergey Yushin . This happened in part because the growth of imports against the WTO . But now, this factor played out , the market is gradually coming back into balance. In addition, global prices for meat in contrast to the grain did not fall , but rose . But only slightly . "By the end of the year there is a reason to raise the price of meat - ahead of the holidays, and in the power factor of a seasonal increase in demand ," - said Yushin . But thanks to the high level of competition will not be much growth .

on milk FAO price index rose - by almost 60 points. And that, unfortunately, can spur the growth of prices in Russia . "Changing the world prices for certain types of food affect the markets , which are highly dependent on imports, - said " RG " director general of the Institute of Agricultural Marketing Elena Turina . - In Russia, for example , is a market of dairy products in milk powder imports . " This does not mean, of course , that the increase in milk prices will be several tens of percent. But before the end of the year the price of dairy products from the counter may increase by 5-10 percent minimum , predicts preboards National Union of Milk Producers Andrei Danilenko .
