The resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers on the introduction of state regulation of prices for a number of social food products may lead to the fact that they simply disappear from the shelves of retail chains, said Boris Markov, CEO of ATB Corporation.

“The established markup of no more than 10% does not cover the costs of market operators for logistics, seasonal write-offs and other operating services. This means that it may well lead to the cessation of the sale of these food products until the establishment of all processes and an understanding of the procedure for their pricing, ”he wrote.
According to him, such actions of the government are seen as discriminatory in all organized retail. In addition, the initiative was not discussed in any way with market participants, with specialized associations and associations, therefore it looks like a lobbying tool.
“In principle, the adoption and implementation of rule-making resolutions on New Year’s Eve, simply putting all retailers before a fact and a priori limiting their right to constructive dialogue and participation, is, to put it mildly, far from a democratic procedure,” he added.
