There will also be rye bread in the shortage. Dmitry Kushnir noted that the production of these cereals is now considered unprofitable due to the rise in price of all components of the process and the rupture of logistics chains. In addition, Ukrainian farmers cannot sell what they have grown even with a minimum profit, because now no one will buy this grain at a real price. Therefore, in 2023, barley and rye are probably not sowed, which provokes a shortage of products.

Price rise in Ukraine is only gaining momentum. In particular, the NBU predicts that inflation in 2022 will be 31%. "While the dynamics are slightly lower than the NBU estimates, it is likely that inflation will be slightly weaker - between 25% and 30% by the end of the year," - comments CASE Executive Director Dmitry Boyarchuk. NBU Council Member Vitaliy Shapran also does not believe that inflation in Ukraine in 2022 will be no longer than 30%.

"We are now watching how oil prices in the world markets are reduced and this can give a certain anti -inflationum of our national economy," the focus interlocutor explains.
