‘The recent increase in food prices has been brought about by a combination of factors like more expensive petroleum, oil, lubricants, and heat-carrying agents and this year’s massive crop failure that was experienced by a lot of countries and made the global crop prices soar immediately,’ Good Taste Meatpacking Plant CEO and Chairman of Sverdlovsk Region Meat Union Sergey Emelyanov said to UrBC.

‘These problems affected Sverdlovsk Region as well. I feel food prices are bound to keep growing this October,’ he added.
