How will food prices change in Ukraine in 2022
In the period September 2021-September 2022, consumer prices in Ukraine will increase by 22-25%. This forecast for the publication "Golos" was announced by the head of the Union of Ukrainian Peasants Ivan Tomich.
The specialist noted that the prices for bread will soar in the country next year. They can increase by 35%. At the same time, according to Tomich, the State Statistics Service provides other data.
"Although it is not clear to me what the methodology of his (Gosstat - ed.) Calculations is based on," the expert adds.
In addition, the head of the Union of Ukrainian Peasants notes that in 2022 Ukrainians will have to pay more for meat. It will rise in price by 20% per kilogram. The price of sugar will also rise by 20-22% per year, and for vegetable oil - up to 25%.
In 2022, a rise in prices for vegetables from borscht is also expected - carrots, cabbage, beets. Their cost will increase by 10%.
“Then everything will depend on the production of these products next year. This has a direct impact on the pricing policy,” the expert noted.
Recall that after the New Year, the price of bananas in Ukraine will go up. The cost will increase by about 30-40 hryvnia for a box with a capacity of 19 kilograms. Now a variety of Cavendish bananas is being imported into our country, the harvest of which this year is not as good as in the past. Therefore, Ukrainians should expect an increase in the value of the fetus.
In addition, prices for alcoholic beverages will rise in Ukraine because of the so-called "resource" bill # 5600, which was adopted by the Ukrainian parliament on November 30. For example, the cost of beer, the strength of which is 8%, will increase by 2 hryvnia per 1 kopeck.
