The article highlights significant price increases in agricultural products in Russia, with buckwheat groats seeing the most dramatic rise, increasing 1.7 times to 87.1 rubles per 1 kg in July 2020, compared to the previous year. This price hike is attributed to both an increase in wholesale prices and a rush in demand before the coronavirus-induced self-isolation. The government's new extended producer responsibility (EPR) policy, aimed at reducing environmental impact, could result in a 30% price surge for mineral water and other beverages in PET bottles, as manufacturers may pass on the added costs. Furthermore, the article warns of potential sunflower product price increases of up to 20% due to a poor harvest forecast for this year, attributed to adverse weather conditions. The article does not speculate on the potential impact of these price increases on the meat and sausage market but raises concerns about the broader implications of rising food prices for Russian consumers.
