No price reduction for food products expected before Easter – expert
Kyiv • UNN
According to Denys Marchuk, food inflation in 2025 is more than 13%, which forms the cost of production. The war makes logistics more expensive, so no price reduction is expected.
It is not worth expecting a decrease in the cost of products on the eve of the Easter holidays. This was announced at a briefing by the Deputy Chairman of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, Denys Marchuk, reports UNN.
Details
According to him, in 2025, food inflation reaches more than 13%. This forms the cost of production, which is then released on store shelves. In addition, the factor of the Russian-Ukrainian war has not disappeared, which makes logistics more expensive than before.
Fuel costs, salary costs, team costs, because teams need to be maintained in the context of mobilization. Those who cannot do this go into technology, which is also an additional cost. Then it is translated into the cost of production. Therefore, unfortunately, we note that during this period of time we will not see a decrease in prices. Especially before the Easter holidays, when demand for certain products will increase
Recall
In February 2025, inflation accelerated to 13.4% year-on-year. The National Bank of Ukraine predicts a decrease in inflation to a single-digit level by the end of this year.
