From January 2014 the price of sugar has increased by more than half. When all of the sudden leap happened in early January of this year - almost 20%. Experts report that this is due to the weakening of the ruble and a small collection of beet harvest. Consistent findings were published in the report of the Ministry of economic development (MED). The Department explained that sugar is going up due to lower yield of beet. "The production of beet sugar in the beginning of January 2015 amounted to 44.5 thousand tons, which is 73.9% of the less suitable period last year", - is told in the news. But, according to reliable information specialists, carry-over stocks of sugar at the beginning of January 2015 conditionally January 2014 at 470 thousand tons more than that is considered sufficient to meet the domestic needs almost to June of the current year. The report noted that such a sudden increase in the cost associated with the weakening of the national currency. "The current level of tariffs on sugar displays increased as a consequence of the devaluation of the ruble, the cost of purchasing imported from other countries resources for production activities", - is told in the news Department. With all this assumes a fall in wholesale tariffs on sugar in the foreseeable future due to the excess of supply of sugar in the market over its demand for agricultural producers who actively sell sugar in preparation for early spring planting. In addition to sugar also increased the price of cereals by 45%, eggs (19%), pasta (14,6%), sunflower oil (13,8%), bread (11%). 22% more expensive fruit and vegetable crops. Together with this slowed the rate of decline of the dynamics of agriculture from 4.5% at the beginning of December 2014 to 0.2% in early January of the current year.
